Object doesn't support property or method 'transformNode' in Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 8)

I am having some JavaScript issues that seem to only occur in Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 (IE 7, 8, and 9 all work fine). The basic jist of what I am doing is getting XML and XSL from a web service and then transforming them in JavaScript to render on the page using the Sys.Net.XMLDOM object.

XMLDOM = Sys.Net.XMLDOM;



var xsl = // XSL gotten from somewhere else 

var xmlString = // XML gotten from somewhere else as a string...

var xml = new XMLDOM(xmlString);



var content = xml.transformNode(xsl);

When I use the above code in IE 10, I get:

Object doesn't support property or method 'transformNode'

Any ideas on why Internet Explorer 10 is doing this?

EDIT

I have also tried this:

xmldoc = new ActiveXObject(Msxml2.DOMDocument); 

xmldoc.async = false; 

xmldoc.load(xml); 



xsldoc = new ActiveXObject(Msxml2.DOMDocument); 

xsldoc.async = false; 

xsldoc.load(xsl); 



var content = xmldoc.transformNode(xsldoc);

Which works in all previous versions of IE, but in IE 10 I get:

Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'atom'.

Found the answer: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/07/19/xmlhttprequest-responsexml-in-ie10-release-preview.aspx

IE 10 requires using an XMLHttpRequest with the responseType set as msxml-document. Once I switched the code over to that, everything works perfectly in all browsers:

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

    xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

} else {

    xhr = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLHTTP); // For IE 6

}

xhr.open(GET, url, false);

try { xhr.responseType = msxml-document; } catch (e) { };

xhr.send();
