ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0") error

[K. Wilder]

I've made an ASP form page that is executed via a
Javascript function.

There's a javascript function that builds an XML object
with the form values. But in some browers it seems to
fail on the line that reads:

var objXML = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");

It's works fine in my IE 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 browsers. Any
ideas why it fails for some users?

Thanks,

King Wilder

You are most likely "up to date" on patches, etc. I dont think version
4.0 is guaranteed to be on a machine just because IE is on it. You
"may" be able to rely on simply MSXML.DOMDocument (no version
specified), but be sure your properties / methods match with the lower
versions.
