There are a couple of ways IE can support loading XML as data. First
there are XML data islands. Then you can use MSXML as ActiveX objects.
Then with IE 7 there is support for XMLHttpRequest as a host object in
IE. What exactly do you want to check for?
With script and try/catch you can try to instantiate MSXML ActiveX
objects e.g.
try {
var xmlDocument = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0')
}
catch (e) {
// deal here with the case that MSXML 3.0 is not available as
// ActiveX
}
