Answer 1

The problem is the security setting of your browser is blocking it.

If you try IE6 the code should work. You have to use a dead browser because the new browsers block it from working as part of a killbit fix that Microsoft did to fix a security issue.

Answer 2

ActiveX is a Microsoft-proprietary framework. It is supported only in MS products (i.e, IE)

You can use jQuery's parseXML method as a cross-browser alternative.

Answer 3

As stated by others, ActiveX is an IE-specific technology.

Try this:

if (window.DOMParser)
{ // Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.
    parser=new DOMParser();
    xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(xml,"text/xml");
}
else // Internet Explorer
{
    xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    xmlDoc.async=false;
    xmlDoc.loadXML(xml); 
}
