htmlCollection children not working in IE

I'm working on an JavaScript project, that is parsing a XML to fill some input fields. I was wondering, why this loop section is working perfectly fine in Firefox or Chrome but not in IE...

var results = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("ResultSet");
    for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
        if(results.item(i).getAttribute("queryID") == "get-pos"){
            var rows = results.item(i).children;
            for (var j = 0; j < rows.length; j++) {
                var columns = rows.item(j).children;

my results loop is working fine but none of the following... when i look at the debug window in IE it says rows would be undefined. As far as i can see .children is unknown.

After some reasearch i tried results[i] instead of results.item(i) without any change. (I guess because it's basically the same?)

Why is it not working in IE but in the other browsers? And how can i fix it?

Older versions of IE did not support the children property on XML documents.

Try using childNodes instead
