createDOM does not work with the latest version of Firefox.

My code is below.

function showPartInfo(partref)
{

var partbase = createDOM("partbase.xml");
   
    if (top.IE5plus) {
        var element = partbase.selectSingleNode("//partinfo[@partref='" + partref + "']");
    } else {
        // since 'selectSingleNode' is not available in the mozilla dom,
        // we have to track down the node the long way
        var element = null;
        // the alert is needed in FireFox to add a small delay while the partbase is searched, with out this the function does not work
        alert("Searching, Press OK to Continue...");
        var parts = partbase.getElementsByTagName("partinfo");
        for (i = 0; i < parts.length; i++) {
            if (parts[i].getAttribute("partref") == partref) element = parts[i];
        }
    }

    if(element != null)
    {
        partinfo = element;
        popup = window.open("../../other/partform.html", "popup", "resizable=yes,width=600,height=180,scrollbars=yes");
       	popup.focus();
    }
    else 
    	alert("Sorry, the RPSTL contains no part information for the item you have selected.");
}
