get and parsing xml using ajax on IE

Question

I have the following XML returned from a URL:

    


  
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  
  
    16
  
  
    12
    1
    7
    0
    1
    true
  
  
    
      
        
          
          
          مصر بالداخل والمعارضة تقاطع]]>
          
          
          مصر بالداخل والمعارضة تقاطع تنطلق اليوم الأحد المرحلة الأولى من الانتخابات]]>
          
          
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
          
          مصر، كما لو كانت مقتطعة]]>
          
          
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
          
          مصر ومن جانب دمشق في سوريا ومن جهات أخرى. تهديد مباشر وأضافت الصحيفة]]>
          
          
          
        
      
    
  
  
    
      57258a24e91a42b0b2399dccf49cf8c1 (7)
      null (0)

when I try to parse it in Chrome and Firefox, everything works like a charm, but in IE i'm getting the following error:

XML5632: Only one root element is allowed. Line: 2, Column 1

here is my AJAX :

    function ajxGetXml(url) {
    debugger;
    $.ajax({
        crossDomain: true,
        type: "GET",
        cache: true,
        url: url,// decodeURI(url), //encodeURI(url),
        dataType: "xml",
        success: parseXml,
        timeout: 10000,        // sets timeout for the request (10 seconds)
        error: function (req, err) { console.log('my message' + err); }
    });
}

and the function to parse the XML :

    function parseXml(xObj) {
    debugger;
    var dom = null;
    if (window.DOMParser) {
        try {
            dom = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(xObj, "text/xml");
        }
        catch (e) { dom = null; }
    }
    else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
        try {
            dom = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
            dom.async = false;
            if (!dom.loadXML(xObj)) // parse error ..
                window.alert(dom.parseError.reason + dom.parseError.srcText);
        }
        catch (e) { dom = null; }
    }
}

I'm stuck here for 4 days with no luck, any help will be appreciated.

i found the solution!, my problem was with encoding and decoding the url in ajax, its work on both way on chrome and FF but IE requires the url to be Decoded! and i don't know the reason.
