Question : Ajax xmlObj.getElementsByTagNam<wbr />e displays text, not images

AJAX: I am using these line of JavaScript to alter the content in a div called "xtras" (a server side PHP script actually generates the XML content)

var html = xmlObj.getElementsByTagName('result').item(0).firstChild.data;
document.getElementById('xtras').innerHTML = html;

I seem to be getting the XML back from the PHP script fine - Firebug displays the response correctly.

CASE 1 (successful):

If I set the PHP script to return this:

$strMsg = 'BOO!';

header('Content-Type: text/xml');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
echo '';
echo '';
echo $strMsg;
echo '';

Firebug shows that the response received was this:
BOO!lt>

and the div "xtras" has its content updated successfully. "BOO!"

CASE 2 (failure):

If I set the PHP script to return this:

$strMsg = '

More images of the SLC-T2

   

Available with up to 4 tiers of LEDs

';

header('Content-Type: text/xml');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
echo '';
echo '';
echo $strMsg;
echo '';

Firebug shows that the response received was this:

More images of the SLC-T2

   

Available with up to 4 tiers of LEDs

But the content of the div "xtras" is empty! No error messages generated. Even if the image paths were wrong (thery're not), I should get the caption text at least.

Any assistance welcomed. Yerfdoggy

You send XML and expect to see HTML, right?
