Javascript XML to string and string to XML in Javascript

To change xml to a string or the other way around you can use the following methods depending on the browser being used:
-

For DOM compliant browsers:

var string = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(xmlNode);

For Internet Explorer:

var string = xmlNode.xml;

To go from string to xml use the following function:

//voorbeeld xml:
var text="<note>";
text=text+"<content>whatever blablabla</content>";
text=text+"</note>";
 
function StringtoXML(text){
	if (window.ActiveXObject){
                  var doc=new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
                  doc.async='false';
                  doc.loadXML(text);
                } else {
                  var parser=new DOMParser();
                  var doc=parser.parseFromString(text,'text/xml');
	}
	return doc;
}
//voorbeeld toepassing:
var doc = StringtoXML(text);
