Description

sometimes we write wrong html code, for example

<link rel="xxx">
instead of
<link rel="xxx"/>

if parts of the page are refreshed via Ajax on IE, the following code is called: wicket-ajax.js

if (window.ActiveXObject)

{ xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); xmldoc.loadXML(text); }

else {

if loadXML fails there is no direct feedback, you only get a cryptic error message:
Wicket.Ajax.Call.failure: Error while parsing response: Object required.

if would be great if you write some logs in case of load error:

if(!xmldoc.loadXML(text)) {
this.failure("error while parsing text: "+text);
}
