DOM FAQ

The most important thing I could suggest is to stop
following the
sheeple. But you're probably being instructed by your boss
to use
everybody's favorite buzzword and don't have a choice,
right?

So taking a look at your code...

getElementsByTagName returns a NodeList. -->
http://www.w3.
org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/

I assume you want a node, right?

I further assume that you want the 0th node, right?

If "sourceCode" were a node, then you could get
the body tag like this:

getElementsByTagName('body').item(0);

(or for better performance)

getElementsByTagName('body')[0];

However, you indicated that "sourceCode" is
actually a string (you
called this "text"). So you're trying to call a
node method on a
string and you wanna know why it doesn't work, right?

Look, Stupid trends come and go. Well-designed code lasts.
I'd suggest
anyone who wants to use AJAX to first read up on the DOM
thoroughly,
study WAI docs, learn OOP, learn some server-side
programming, and
build a few webapps with out using XMLHTTP/remote scripting.

For what it's worth, I believe the former is a tiny little
bit faster 
than the latter in Gecko, though the difference is pretty
minuscule.

Is this the right mailing list for getting help? Isn't this
mailing list  
for discussing the specs, instead of "plz help
me"?
