How to parse an xml from javascript from code beside page? i have tried

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async = false;
        xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = Readxml;
        xmlDoc.load("abc.xml");

but the error is that the xml is not loaded? i am using visual studio 2008.thnks in advance

though i have solved the problem of loading, what if i want to load an xml present in C:. how to give the path?

[carobee]

Please can anyone help?

[carobee]

finally i have solved it. The solution is

xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async = false;
        var path = document.location.href;
        path = path.replace(/\\/g,"/");
        path = path.substr(0,path.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
        var path=path+"folder/filename";

This made my code work
