JQuery :: Convert XML With CDATA To HTML And Back Again?
Jun 26, 2010
I'm receiving XML data via AJAX and the XML includes some CDATA values. The XML needs to be added to the page and then later scraped from the page and sent back as XML via AJAX.
Simple Example:
I receive -
And want to end up with:
And then send back as XML
99% of this is easy except the handling of the CDATA tag.
If I treat the XML as HTML, the CDATA tags get commented out automatically by JQuery.
So .html() returns <!--<![CDATA[Hello World]]>--> and .text() returns an null value (which is correct for a node containing only a comment).
If I treat the XML as XML, then .html() doesn't work making it impossible to insert the data (with its XML tags) into my page.
The only way around this I can see is to create a function that loops through the XML creating a HTML duplicate somehow and converting the CDATA nodes. When I want to send it back I have to reverse the process.
This seems a very long winded process when all I want to do is treat the XML as HTML except for the CDATA which needs to converted appropriately.
So two questions:
1) Am I missing some easy way to do all this using JQuery or other tools?
2) If I do need to manually convert the XML into HTML and vice versa, how do I do it?
I have an XML document that is returned which has an element named html. Inside of that element is a block of HTML wrapped with CDATA tags. I can alert the html variable that i create and see it has all of the data inside of it. So I want to parse through and grab certain things now. I'm just trying to get the element to return it's id to me, even though I know it ... because I kept getting the following error with other code.[code]

I still continue to get this error with the current code below:
teaching myself javascript. my current self-challenge is to write a countdown clock that will tick off the days, hours, minutes, seconds until a certain date.i'm thinking that this should be what's happening in the javascript:
get current date/time (using new Date())
get future date/time counting down to (using new Date(2009,7,7))
subtract current from future (Math.ceil(movie.getTime - today.getTime))
convert resulting milliseconds to back to time format (not sure how to do that yet)write result back to html page (not sure how to do that yet, either)loop the whole thing every 1000 milliseconds.is this a workable idea? it seems the most straightforward way of doing it, but other scripts i've found on the web seem much more complicated.
Is there no plug in that can convert html+css to a PDF document. I develop in PHP and I am having a huge headache trying to get this to work. The PHP PDF libraries that I have tested are not good with HTML, the conversion always fails.
Inside a function: mygrid._in_header_multiselect_filter=function(t,i,d){
The first parameter is a HTML node [url].
I want to turn it into a JQuery version of the same so I can deal with it using JQuery, i.e. accessing it's children, setting up it's onclick event, etc. How to convert it to JQuery?
I want to use AJAX where the response from server side would be an XML with root element has two divs one for status with values success or failure and other child is HTML which needs to replaced if first div is success.
Im having to create an html page that displays the current date that i need to extract from a .JS file eg: daysOfTheWeek: [Content.dates.sunday] I have to convert this into a string to work on my HTLM page...So far i have managed to get this far
<h4>It is now </h4> <span class="dateHolder"></span> </head>
I used the jquery-function replaceWith() to replace this html part <div class="montag">...</div> with this part <div id="ersatz">...</div> Then i implemented a listener for montag and a listener for ersatz, so I can switch back and forth between the different parts.
The side gets loaded within the montag div and when i click on this part the listener works and the html gets switched to the ersatz part, but after this the listener for ersatz does not work, although the modified html gets displayed in firebug. Are there any solutions for such a kind of problem?
How do I get back the DOM element as HTML source using jQuery? The html() method only returns the innerHTML and it does not include the UIelement itself. But I am more interested in converting the UI element
I am trying to create dynamic content using append and appendTo functions. It seems to work fine and I can see the new elements on the fly using a Button to execute a customized function based on this jquery methods. something like this:
CDATA-blocks work great for coding large blocks of HTML, or CSS, into strings. But, I can't figure out how to use a variable-value within one.For example, consider this JavaScript code:
var FullName = "Friedrich Hayek"; var ProfileCode = (<><![CDATA[ <div id="BigHonkingChunkO_HTML">
[code]...
How do I get $FullName$ to render as "Friedrich Hayek" instead of "$FullName$"? Note that there is more than one variable and each variable can be used a few times in the CDATA block. Alternate code sample:
var UserColorPref = "red"; var UI_CSS = (<><![CDATA[ body {
The xml tree is the responseXML part of an XmlHttpRequest and is stored in a the javascript object xmldoc. While trying to test the node type of the children of the "results"-Element I got different results with IE and Mozilla: Code:
You may find it more helpful to provide a back button for your users to allow them to go back where they originally came from. This will also make it easier to program your HTML pages.

I have just started learning JQuery and have a doubt in the below code. $.get('myhtmlpage.html', myCallBack);The doubt is should the 1st parameter of the get function be a HTML file or can it be a unction name?
I would like to create a program which converts some letters into different ones.
1) I want 2 text areas (input and output) + "convert" button
2) if I type in the input area the letters "ea" I would like it to be converted into "a", so that If I type "cambrea" and press "submit" the output text will have "cambra".
3) if I type "e " which is (e+space) I want it to be converted into " " which is "space" example: if I type the word "spine " it should be converted into "spin , note that there is a space after "spin ".
4) If I type any vowel before "o" it should render "o", example: gambuo becomes gambo. would this be possible? I'm not very familiar with Javascript even though I can modify it.
I'm looking to have a lightbox pop up when a user clicks the Back button in their browser rather than just navigating back. The purpose is to ask a question with a Yes/No answer, and if they click No, I allow them to go back. The only thing I've found anything like this is the onUnload event, but that doesn't prevent them from going back. How should this be handled?
I am trying to write a script that uses the IF statement to see wether or not a user clicked the back button to come to a page, and then if it's true to not let the page load and kick them back X number of pages (say 4) This is what I have so far:
and thats my problem: if you click on a link (going to info.html) in the textbox ".details" and go back (via the back button in your browser) it doesnt hide the ".details"-box. how can i hide my ".details" everytime the page is loaded, even by the backbutton?
I am trying to capture the back button and redirect if it is a certain URL, if not just go back like a normal back button.I've never really messed with the history except for something like this: <a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">Anyone have an example using this plugin: [URL]r any other plugin that might achieve this
