Accessible XML

Question

Hi everyone
The following is a section of code from my site. It works in IE but not in Firefox. I suspected that was because I was using an Active X object so I modified the code to offer an alternative for other browsers.
The first section (in the for loop) simply checks the result of a radio button before making its decision. (If the radio button is set to something else, the code does nothing in this case.)
function uponSubmit() {
  for (var i=0; i<document.getElementsByName("whichservice").length; i++)
    if (document.getElementsByName("whichservice").checked)
var whichservice = document.getElementsByName("whichservice")[i].value;
if (whichservice=="combinedresults")
if(document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
// Mozilla
// Load XML
xml = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
xml.load("page.xml");
xml.onload = function()
// Load XSL
var xsl = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
xsl.load("stylesheet.xsl");
xsl.onload = function()
xsltProcessor = new XSLTProcessor();
xsltProcessor.importStylesheet(xsl);
//Change parameter
xsltProcessor.setParameter(null, "url", document.getElementsByName("url")[0].value);
// Transform
result = xsltProcessor.transformToDocument(xml);
document.removeChild(document.firstChild);
document.appendChild(result.firstChild);
else if(window.ActiveXObject)
// IE
// Load XML
xml = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
xml.async = false
xml.load("page.xml")
// Load XSL
xsl = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
xsl.async = false
xsl.load("stylesheet.xsl")
//Change parameter
xsl.selectSingleNode("//xsl:param[@name='url']").setAttribute("select",
"'"+document.forms[0].url.value+"'");
// Transform
document.write(xml.transformNode(xsl))
else
// Browser unknown
alert("Browser unknown");
This still works fine in Internet Explorer, but simply quits in Firefox. I've looked and looked yet still can see nothing wrong. Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

The second version has no attributes to get, only elements and text.
In your SAX handler, the attributes are passed into the startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName, Attributes atts) method. Does the atts argument have no values in it?
