[OpenLayers-Users] WMSCapabilities parse problem

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi,

you don't need Format.XML in between but I doubt that's your problem.

var CAPformat = new OpenLayers.Format.WMSCapabilities();
var cap = CAPformat.read(response.responseXML || response.responseText);

Can you share the output of your WMS GetCapabilities response?

Best regards,
Bart
