Thanks ...but the question I was raising was that the document format was
XML (not HTML)
however it does appear that document.documentElement is the correct syntax
but there may be a timing issue.
for example .alert(
window.frames['xmldoc']..document.documentElement.tagName) does work if the
document has fully
finished loading.
the problem APPEARS to be that a document onload event does not necessarily
mean that the document is actually ready for returning the
documentElement.tagName
