Hi guys!
Trying to parse an xml using jquery.
This seems to work only With IE 11 (didn't try older releases). Chrome, Opera and Firefox don't do anything..

<script type="text/javascript">
      if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
      {
        xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
      }
      else
      {
        xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XmlHTTP");
      }
      xmlHttp.open("GET", "DataSources/XML/XMLCountries.XML", false);
      xmlHttp.send();
      xmlDoc = xmlHttp.responseXML;
      var $xml = $(xmlDoc);
      $xml.find('Country').each(function () {
        alert($(this).attr('Name'));
      });
    </script>

This is the XML file:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CountriesList xmlns="XMLCountries.xsd">
  <Country Name="England" NavigateUrl="" ImageUrl="~/Images/flags/shiny/16/England.png" Tooltip="English Leagues and Cups"/>
  <Country Name="France" NavigateUrl="" ImageUrl="~/Images/flags/shiny/16/France.png" Tooltip="French Leagues and Cups"/>
  <Country Name="Germany" NavigateUrl="" ImageUrl="~/Images/flags/shiny/16/Germany.png" Tooltip="German Leagues and Cups"/>
  <Country Name="Italy" NavigateUrl="" ImageUrl="~/Images/flags/shiny/16/Italy.png" Tooltip="German Leagues and Cups"/>
  <Country Name="Spain" NavigateUrl="" ImageUrl="~/Images/flags/shiny/16/Spain.png" Tooltip="Spanish Leagues and Cups"/>
  <Country Name="Portugal" NavigateUrl="" ImageUrl="~/Images/flags/shiny/16/Portugal.png" Tooltip="Portugal Leagues and Cups"/>
</CountriesList>

What am I missing?? I'm quite sure IE 11 uses XMLHttprequest in place of Microsoft.XMLHttp, so this shouldn't be an issue of the XMLHttprequest.
Thx for your help!

The issue you are facing occurs when you are performing the Ajax request or when parsing the given XML document.
Check the developer console for errors.
Also, it seems you are using jQuery, so why not to use jQuery.get ?

Got the error (I'm not very familiar with js debugging, so it took a while..)
This is what I receive!

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost/FTBL/FTBL/DataSources/XML/XMLCountries.XML. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:49373' is therefore not allowed access.

I'm reading something about CORS, I've added a couple of Headers:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Headers and Methods, but no luck anyway..

Gotcha!
Added these lines inside the web.config

XML

<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="*" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="*" />

I had trouble understanding where I had to put these lines.
Thx Matej!
