Cross-browser XML sniffer – outline

I wrote earlier about my Microsoft XML Parser sniffer. My previous post included a link about using DOM Document in Mozilla/Opera, and it got me thinking. I am going to write a cross-browser XML sniffer with functions to initialise both the DOM Document and XMLHTTPRequest objects in all browsers. I don’t think any other of the XML objects in the Microsoft XML Parser have W3C alternatives which Mozilla/Opera can utilize.

The changes from the current XML sniffer will be:

- Check if IE or Mozilla/Opera.

- Array with all Microsoft XML Parser versions. Loop through and find newest version installed. Better than the current try/catch of all versions which is currently used.

- Include W3C standard of XMLHTTPRequest and DOMDocument together with all the current included objects from Microsoft XML Parser.

Anyone got some thoughts regarding this?
