loadXML not working

When I using loadXML function I got two alert messages

1) Error type:LoadXML
Descriptin :Incorrect XML

2) Error type:DataStructure
Descriptin :XML refers to not existing parent

I have write data to file while calling an ajax function (using java) and then loading this file in a treegrid using "loadXML".

The file is like this

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<tree id='0'>
    <item text='Types' id='1' open='1' im0='tombs.gif' im1='tombs.gif' im2='iconSafe.gif' call='1' select='1'>
<item text='ABC' id='21' im0='folderClosed.gif' im1='folderOpen.gif' im2='folderClosed.gif' >
            <item text='PQR' id='21~3' im0='book_titel.gif' im1='book.gif' im2='book_titel.gif' >
                <item text='XYZ' id='21~3~10' im0='book_titel.gif' im1='book.gif' im2='book_titel.gif' />
            </item>
        </item>
    </item>
</tree>

Please be sure that xml file really exists in moment when loadXML called

If you are loading not from static XML file, please be sure
    - content outputed with text/xml content type
    - there are no unnecessary whitespaces before <?xml tag

You can use debug version of dhtmlxcommon.js to check exact server side response.

Was curious if the original poster figured out the issue. I'm having similar problem as well.

Hello.
I had same problem.
I was using php-generated XML file, probably this one was throwing the error,
later I have added:
header("Content-type: text/xml");
and the problem was solved!

Good luck!
