Hi all,

Whatever may be the server... it should work fine...we are using only javascript and xml in ajax.So it should work in weblogic too...

Try to do.All the best

Make sure that the content type of the reponse is set to "text/xml". If its not text/xml, then req.reponseXML will return null and not the parsed DOM.

Hope this helps,
Sanjiv
