i found out that the problem is something else...
all this mambo jumbo about opening the xml is inside a jsp file....
I did the following test, i did "view source" and copy/paste into an .html file and opened inside Firefox , and it works just fine!!!!!
What could be the problem??? :/

gonna post a thread in JSP forum....

thx 4 the help
