Load XML from xmlHttpRequest Object

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

Using jQuery.ajax to retrieve xml response from server.

If I try:

gridMain.parse(response);

Error returns:

this.xmlDoc.responseXML.getElementsByTagName is not a function
[Break on this error] this.async=true;this.onloadAction=fun...ngth==0 && tagName.indexOf(":")!=-1)
dhtmlxcommon.js (line 16)

If I try:

gridMain.parse(response.responseXML);

Error returns:

xml is null
[Break on this error] _process_xml:function(xml){if (!xml.d...f (xml.responseXML)t.xmlDoc=xml;else
dhtmlxgrid.js (line 754)

Try to use
gridMain.parse(response.responseText);

Technically the
gridMain.parse(response);
must work as well ( if response is an instance of XMLHTTPRequest object )

#3

I eliminated the jquery involvement while loading the grid (send it the php path not an xmlHttpObject) and it works fine simply using gridMain.loadXML(‘path to php’). We we’re adding an unnecessary step.
