Over at the IE Blog:
IE 7 implements a native XMLHTTPRequest object for Javascript applications, instead of requiring an ActiveXObject to be created. This also means XMLHTTPRequest will function on machines that have ActiveX disabled.
Thank you Dean.
I think you misunderstood our IM conversation this morning. ALL of the credit goes to Chris Wilson and team. I did nothing but request a cheque.
Then I did misunderstand you. I thought you filed an RFE for this?
Good news! =)
But how about DOMDocument? XSLTProcessor? DOMSerializer? I think XmlHttpRequest isn’t enough to cover all our wishes.
Also, what about “extensible objects”? I mean… Node, HTMLElement, Array, String, etc? Will all they be available for us?
I still think IE7 needs more base support instead of implementing stuffs that will be useless if no basic support is provided.
Cheers,
