This is a question in relation to this one.
In UPDATE II, I added a script based on Jamie's feedback.
UPDATE - tl;dr:
I created a fiddle with a temporary key so you guys can see the problem more easily: http://jsfiddle.net/S6wEN/.
As this question was getting too long, this is a summary.
- I tried to use imgur API to update an image via cross domain XHR.
- In order to abstract details in the implementation, I'm using Jquery Form Plugin (obviously, it's contained in the fiddle).
- Works great in Chrome, Firefox, etc but it doesn't work in IE9.
- The expected result is to update the image and retrieve image type.
You can still find the details below.
Thanks
I have this HTML:
<body>
<form id="uploadForm" action="http://api.imgur.com/2/upload.xml" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="key" value="MYKEY">
File: <input type="file" name="image">
Return Type: <select id="uploadResponseType" name="mimetype">
<option value="xml">xml</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit 1" name="uploadSubmitter1">
</form>
<div id="uploadOutput"></div>
</body>
So basically, I have a form to upload an image to imgur via cross domain XHR. In order to manage the nasty details, I'm using Jquery Form Plugin, which works well. However, when I try to send an image to imgur and receive an xml response, it doesn't work as expected in IE9 (I haven't tested in IE8 but I don't expect great news). It works great in Chrome and Firefox. This is the javascript part:
(function() {
$('#uploadForm').ajaxForm({
beforeSubmit: function(a,f,o) {
o.dataType = $('#uploadResponseType')[0].value;
$('#uploadOutput').html('Submitting...');
},
complete: function(data) {
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML( data.responseText ),
$xml = $( xmlDoc );
$('#uploadOutput').html($xml.find('type'));
}
});
})();
In IE9 I receive the following errors:
SCRIPT5022: Invalid XML: null
jquery.min.js, line 2 character 10890
XML5619: Incorrect document syntax.
, line 1 character 1
I also used the example given in Jquery Form Plugin's page, which uses only Javascript but it doesn't help. Obviously, the first error referring to Jquery disappears but I can't obtain the expected results (in this case, image/jpeg in the div with id="uploadOutput" ).
When I look at the console in IE9, I get this:
URL Method Result Type Received Taken Initiator Wait?? Start?? Request?? Response?? Cache read?? Gap??
http://api.imgur.com/2/upload.xml POST 200 application/xml 1.07 KB 7.89 s click 2808 93 5351 0 0 0
and as body response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<upload><image><name/><title/><caption/><hash>xMCdD</hash>
<deletehash>Nb7Pvf3zPNohmkQ</deletehash><datetime>2012-03-17 01:15:22</datetime>

<small_square>http://i.imgur.com/xMCdDs.jpg</small_square>
<large_thumbnail>http://i.imgur.com/xMCdDl.jpg</large_thumbnail></links></upload>
which is all fine, but for some reason, I can't process that information into the HTML page. I validated the XML, just to be sure that wasn't the problem. It is valid, of course.
So, what's the problem with IE9?.
UPDATE:
Another way to fetch XML which works in Chrome and Firefox but not in IE9:
(function() {
$('#uploadForm').ajaxForm({
dataType: "xml",
beforeSubmit: function(a,f,o) {
o.dataType = $('#uploadResponseType')[0].value;
$('#uploadOutput').html('Submitting...');
},
success: function(data) {
var $xml = $( data ),
element = $($xml).find('type').text();
alert(element);
}
});
})();
UPDATE 2:

};
function process_xml(xml) {
var type = $(xml).find('type').text() ;
return type;
// Find other elements and add them to your document
}
function afterSuccess(responseText, statusText, xhr, $form) {

console.log('success: ' + $xml);
}
function afterCompletion(xhr,status){
if(status == 'parsererror'){
xmlDoc = null;
// Create the XML document from the responseText string
if(window.DOMParser) {
parser = new DOMParser();
xml = parser.parseFromString(xhr.responseText,"text/xml");
} else {
// Internet Explorer
xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xml.async = "false";
xml.loadXML(xhr.responseText);
}
}
console.log('complete: ' + process_xml(xhr.responseText));
}
$('#uploadForm').ajaxForm(options);
})();
</script>
Thanks in advance.
