Re: XML Islands in Firefox

Yes, I know I can not trust innerHTML. That is why I am asking for
help here. I have already seen the link you posted but it didn't
helped me.

With document.getElementById("zahtevek") I get a reference to <xml>
element but I don't know how to extract XML as a string from it. :
( That is the problem.

Firefox does not support XML data islands in HTML documents. However you
can use XMLHttpRequest to load an XML document and access its DOM as
responseXML. That works for IE too.

Maybe you could use <textarea> in stead of <div>:

<form method="get" action="#">
<textarea cols="60" rows="10" name="zahtevek">
<xml id="zahtevek">
<cdocument xmlns:cd="http://Document">
<cdata Id="Data"/>
</cdocument>
</xml>
</textarea>
<input type="button" name="Test" value="Test"
onclick="alert(document.forms[0].zahtevek.value);">
</form>

With CSS and onFocus="blur()" it looks identical as a div.

I have tried that today but it doesn't work for me. Special characters
(©ÐÈÆ®¹ðèæ¾) are not properly handled when placed into and taken from
an textarea. I will have to follow Martin's advice and use
XMLHttpRequest.

If I'm receiving your encoding correctly, this looks like a two-byte
encoded UTF-8 string. The character set of the page + how it was saved
determine how it will be displayed. You appear to post from Slovenia,
so either you could use ISO-8859-2 (or one of the proprietary Central-
European code pages), or, preferably, UTF-8.

Two examples:

http://www.dotinternet.be/temp/1.htm (saved in UTF-8)
versus
http://www.dotinternet.be/temp/2.htm (not saved in UTF-8!)

My guess what you are seeing:
http://www.dotinternet.be/temp/3.htm

With this in mind, <textarea> should always return the right
characters.
