This problem occurs not only in IE6

@howardrauscher… only problem I encountered was that IE6 does not support gzipped script files added dynamically via the DOM

holts, try something like this:

try {
var x = new XML();
}catch(e){
console.log(‘E4X not supported’);
}

On a related note… what is the best way to perform Object detection to sniff the presence of E4X? Would rather do that than browser sniffing. If anyone knows, can you post some info or a link? Thanks

The tests say that all tested browsers accept gzip encoded documents, but I have found that IE6 support really sucks for gzip. Maybe figuring out which particular version of IE6 (with certain hotfixes) support gzip.
