[OpenLayers-Users] WMSCapabilities error in IE

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

this is more or less a known issue. To avoid it, try the following:

var data = req.responseXML.documentElement ?
    req.responseXML :
    req.responseText;
var caps = new OpenLayers.Format.WMSCapabilities().read(data)

Regards,
Andreas.
