loading XML in a Grid using AJAX

Hi,

I think I am doing something wrong here. I want to fill a DHTMLX Grid with an XML so I use AJAX to load the XML via GET and after that I store the plain XML as a string and want the grid to load it:



<!-- DHTMLx START -->         
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/dhtmlxgrid.css" />
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/dhtmlxcommon.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/dhtmlxgrid.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/dhtmlxgridcell.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/ext/dhtmlxgrid_start.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/ext/dhtmlxgrid_group.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/ext/dhtmlxgrid_excell_link.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/ext/dhtmlxgridcell.js"></script>
<script src="/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/excells/dhtmlxgrid_excell_dec.js"></script>
<!-- DHTMLx ENDE -->

<script>
var grid_kundeninfo;
function doInitGrid(typ){
// Init
var url;
url = "/cgi-bin/webcrm/customer/crm_main.cgi?func=relay&s=[OS_SESSIONID]&i=1000&c=get_pers"
url += "&typ=" + typ;

dhtmlxAjax.get(url, getOutputResponse);
};

function getOutputResponse(loader){
var xml = loader.xmlDoc.responseText.toString();
xml = xml.replace(/\r/g, "");
xml = xml.replace(/\n/g, "");
xml = xml.replace(/\t/g, "");
document.getElementById("in_xml").value = xml;

grid_kundeninfo = new dhtmlXGridObject('kundeninfo_container');
grid_kundeninfo.setImagePath("/js/dhtmlx_Rel3_81107/dhtmlxGrid/codebase/imgs/");
grid_kundeninfo.preventIECaching(true);

grid_kundeninfo.loadXMLString(xml);
grid_kundeninfo.init();
};

function renew(){
window.setTimeout("sendRequestGet()", 100);
};

</script>

<input type="button" id="out_click" name="out_click" Size="10" value="get data" onClick="doInitGrid(this.form.out_typ.value)">


I am able to see the whole XML in a textarea (document.getElementById("in_xml").value = xml;) and this XML is completely correct (I am able to load it after I stored it in a file). But I get no further messages and the grid does not initialize itself. What am I doing wrong?

Does xml contain the header structure of grid?  The code looks correct and must work if response was a correct xml with both header and data information. 
By the way , you can use 
         grid.load("/cgi-bin/webcrm/customer/crm_main.cgi?func=relay&s=[OS_SESSIONID]&i=1000&c=get_pers");
it will work the same - will load data by ajax
