146421 - Document.load does not support paths in the url argument

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Chris Bodart]

I am sure this is a posted bug but my queries to Bugzilla didnt turn it up

try:

var doc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
doc.load("local.xml")

but

var doc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
doc.load("../xml/local.xml")

or

var doc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
doc.load("http://somedomain/xml/local.xml")

both cause the browser to crash, which is a pain

thanx (and sorry if this is a duplicate or im missing something fundamental)

Chris, what build are you using?  Is this still a problem in current builds?
