This namespace contains XML-related functions to make the BCD-UI library work on different browsers' XML implementation. These functions deal with the following issues:
- XML Document creation
Factory functions for creating XML documents, parsing and serialization and creating XSLT processors.
- XML Manipulation + IE API Compatibilty
The Mozilla / Webkit XML classes are augmented so that they implement the IE-compatible interface. Then the users can focus on this API only.
- Namespace handling
Align the handling of XML namespaces and prefixes so that the well-known BCD-UI prefixes as well as user prefixes can be used in the JavaScript API.

Methods
-
staticbcdui.core.browserCompatibility.appendElementWithPrefix(targetElement, name, insertBeforeTargetElement){DomElement}
core/browserCompatibility.js, line 116 -
Creates a new element whose name can contain a well-known prefix (like "wrs") and appends it to the specified target element. This function should be used rather than createElementNS, because the latter is not available on the Internet Explorer.
Name Type Description targetElementHtmlElement The targetElement which is used for appending the new element. namestring The element name which may contain a well-known prefix. insertBeforeTargetElementboolean Preprend instead of append element. Returns:
Type Description DomElement The new XMLElement. -
staticbcdui.core.browserCompatibility.asyncCreateXsltProcessor(args)
core/browserCompatibility.js, line 143 -
Asynchronous creation of an XSLTProcessor object from a DOM document.
Name Type Description argsobject An argument map containing the following elements: Name Type Description modelDomDocument The XSLT document the XSLTProcessor instance should be callBackfunction The callback function executed when the processor has been created. It takes the processor instance as argument callerDebugstring Additional (debug) information from the caller for logging -
staticbcdui.core.browserCompatibility.cleanupGeneratedXslt()
core/extendedBrowserCompatibility.js, line 24 -
Helper to support namespace-alias for Gecko
-
staticbcdui.core.browserCompatibility.cloneDocument(doc){DomDocument}
core/browserCompatibility.js, line 63 -
Name Type Description docDomDocument To be cloned Returns:
Type Description DomDocument A clone of the given DOM document -
staticbcdui.core.browserCompatibility.createDOMFromXmlString(serializedDoc, msg){DomDocument}
core/browserCompatibility.js, line 75 -
Parses given xml string and creates a DOMDocument out of it.
Name Type Description serializedDocstring A serialized XML document. msgstring Optional for better error message. Returns:
Type Description DomDocument The DOMDocument parsed from the serialized document string. -
staticbcdui.core.browserCompatibility.MSXMLDocumentWrapper()
core/browserCompatibility.js, line 217 -
To be able to attach new functions like createElementNS to our XMLDocument, we need to wrap MSXML ActiceX objects here Sadly, we cannot provide legacy .xml, .text via implicit getter (defineProperty is not available in IE8). Switching to an explicit function xml() or so is also no real option since we cannot provide that for MSXML elements (unless we would proxy them all them) and often it is unknown whether we have an element (no proxy) or a document (is proxied). So, just use standard XMLSerializer from now on. New native XML objects of MS do not support selectSingleNode() nor evaluate(), we still have to use MSXML, can't use document.implementation.createDocument(null,null,null);
