The following code executes fine in Firefox and Chrome, but gives an error:

'null' is null or not an object

when executed in Internet Explorer.

if (xmlhttp.responseXML != null)
    {
    var xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement ;
    var ResultNodes = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName ("Result") ;   <---- error here
    if (ResultNodes != null)
        {

(I would have thought the line after the one indicated would be more likely to return the error but the debugger says the run-time error is at the line indicated)

Any ideas why?
