Question : Web Services Cross Browser Support

Below I have provided examples of Web Services.cs and calling.js. What I am doing is passing an xml object to the client by calling the .cs web servie from a .js file and then using sarissa to perform transaformation on the client.

This works fine in IE browsers however cannot seem to successfully pass xml data to client using other browsers such as firefox. Can anyone assist with some advice on what I am doing wrong and how I can possibly work towards resolving the issue.

there is no need to create your own xml and send it to client because this is XML web service
you just need to define your output serializable and everything will be correct.
add [Serializable] tag before your DirectoryConstructor class
and in your webmethod
just return:
return myDirectoryConstructor;
