XML DOM Parser Errors
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft's parseError object can be used to retrieve error information from the Microsoft XML parser.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The parseError Object 
When trying to open an XML document, a parser-error may occur.

With the parseError object, you can retrieve the error code, the error text, the line that caused the error, and more. 

Note: The parseError object is not a part of the W3C DOM standard!

File Error 
In the following code we will try to load a non-existing file, and display some of its error properties: 

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load("ksdjf.xml")

document.write("Error code: " + xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode)
document.write("<br />Error reason: " + xmlDoc.parseError.reason)
document.write("<br />Error line: " + xmlDoc.parseError.line) 

Try it yourself


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XML Error 
In the following code we let the parser load an XML document that is not well-formed. 

(You can read more about well-formed and valid XML in our XML tutorial) 

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load("note_error.xml")

document.write("Error code: " + xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode)
document.write("<br />Error reason: " + xmlDoc.parseError.reason)
document.write("<br />Error line: " + xmlDoc.parseError.line)
