MSXML2.DOMDocument
Does anyone know what this component comes with, or should I say what software installs this on one's computer, Windows? IE?
We want to use it in a web application, but I am concerned with people not having it installed, can anyone shed some light on the subject.
Thanks in advance.Please don't PM me with questions.

I have no idea
IE5 and later?
Only thing to read on this page is that "...different versions of the Microsoft Windows® operating system and Microsoft Internet Explorer are released with different versions of MSXML." Thank you, MS

Thanks for that. I was afraid of that. A co-worker says its standard with IE 5.5 and above, so I will go with that. Thanks.

I think that (what your coworker says; IE5.5) can be correct.
If I remember correctly, you had to run xmlinst.exe, and also update MDAC (?), to make all msxml stuff work on older systems (e.g. NT4 + IE5). But that was like... eh... more than 3 years ago. Ergo: This will only be a problem for 1-2 % of the users?
There's another problem for you, I think; what about non-IE users?
You have to use createDocument (?) instead of new ActiveXObject(...) in Mozilla.
Of course, someone else has already written a common interface:

Really nice
Only problem left; what about really old browsers that doesn't support the try...catch in javascript?

Non-issue, this is a web-based software application where minimum requirements will be set, for example, IE5.5+,its not for joe public.
As for the remark about private messaging, Iam quite aware of the ability to turn off private messaging. I don't want to turn it off, I want poeple to use the forums for questions pertaining to development. I don't care if people pm me for things other than questions that would be better suited for the forums.Please don't PM me with questions.
