UT destroys the html code in my previous message, so I post it again.
to run it, make the following modifications:

1. replace [ with <
2. replace ] with >

[html][body]

[xml id="result" javaDSOCompatible="true"]
[mytable xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"]
[row]
	[field1  dt:dt="string"]value1[/field1]
[/row]
[/mytable]
[/xml]

[script]

// this returns 2
alert( 'Field count ' + result.recordset.Fields.Count );

// this for loop is not executed! Why?
for ( f in result.recordset.Fields )  
       alert( 'Field name ' + f.Name );
[/script]
[/body][/html]
