Loading An XML File (either A Data Island Or External) Into A DOM
Jun 9, 2004
how to load an XML file into a DOM. I can get it done in IE, but in mozilla I am missing something. Here is what my loadXML() function looks like:
function loadXML(){
try {
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify;
hasFile = xmlDoc.load(info.XMLDocument);
if (hasFile){
xmlObj = xmlDoc.documentElement;
allTopics = xmlObj.getElementsByTagName("topic");
}}
catch(e) {
xmlDoc = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(document.getElementById('info').innerHTML, 'text/xml');
hasFile = true;
allTopics = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("topic");
if (hasFile){
allTopics = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("topic");
alert(allTopics[0].firstChild.getAttribute("name"));
}}}
Where verify is another function. The try part works for IE, but the catch part doesn't work for Mozilla. I am not finding any information as to really use an XML DOM properly in Mozilla. I'm trying to get allTopics to be a handle on the same thing in both the "try" and the "catch".
i was wondering if it is possible to load text into a string from an external text file. the reason is that i have a very large string and it is making my script very messy.
also, is it possible to have some dynamic parts of the text from the text file? for example, if i load in a string and there is a part of it that inserts a value from a variable like the following:
'The number of people is ' + var_people_num;
....so the text from the external file would load but these parts would be given the value of a variable contained in the script that calls the external file. its not absolutely crucial that i obtain this but it would help me seperate large chunks that complicate the script.
I'm currently working on a site and need to have a small section that displays 5 or 6 headlines. The same headlines will displayed on various pages and will occassionally be updated.
The site pages are static .html in design and i'd prefer to keep it that way rather than start introducing php for such a minor part of the site.
I am wondering if there is a javascript solution to this, whereby the headlines could be loaded via a .txt / .xml document or something similar?? That way i could just manually update the file and reload it to the server and the headlines would be updated.
I guess i'm think something similar to cushyCMS but that i can implement directly.
I'm fairly new to jquery so apologies if this is a very simple question with a very simple answer, but I just can't figure out the solution. I have an overlay div, and when I close the overlay I want to remove the html inside it and then re-load it from the specified file. I have already worked out how to empty the div, but what I now want to do is re-populate it with the content from a separate file on my web server.
well i'm kind of new to this website and scripting with javascript but i am wondering: in a client side .js file i have some coding which results in a string which is stored in a variable called exportData
now i want that string to be written into a text file on a server but how do i do that? it is not local on the client's pc and i can't find how to do it anywhere..
Scenario:i have a user form, and want to modify user details. all user details are from json file. Prob:how can i modify external json file with its updated user details? or what available function to be used?
is there a way of sending data inputted into a form inside a chunk, to an ASP form on a completely external page (i.e on a different, unrelated site)?This is the code I have for the form chunk:
A program I am writing will be loading the data of a file into an array. This data is read as an image and is displayed. Part of it will be the modification of palettes, so if I click Palette 4, it would go in and edit the array to have new contents (predefined by me) and redisplay the image in place of the one that was there before. How would I load a file into an array and display it as an image and stuff?
Is Json considered the better file format for loadind data via Jquery AJAX? I am going to use it either way, but from a cutting edge stand point, is JSON looked at a more cutting edge since it loads faster. 2. And for that matter is anyone using css3 and E4X? All these seem to require the latest versions of all browsers. Since my goal is to be cutting edge I was thinking to do some stuff in the above listed that require only the latest browser if it is detected, if not use what works in most all browsers? What are cutting edge web app developers really doing at this time?
//-----10% Off Coupon----- if (coupon=="N110"){ form.PRICE.value=-(moneyFormat(fTotal * .10)-1); form.ID_NUM.value="N110"; form.NAME.value=" Craft Month Promo 10% Off"; location.href=location.href; return true; }
I want to replace the .10 with an external peice of data, so users can change the amount with having to open the script. Sorta like those early marquees' where the marquee text was inserted from a text file.
I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1 word2 word3 word4 word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
I got an [object error] from IE 7.0.5730.11 when moving the <script src="..." type="text/javascript" /tag from the <headpart to the <bodysection of a HTML file.
Is not possibile to include Javascript code via <script src="..." type="text/javascript" /from the <bodysection, instead from the <headone? If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be? If not, how can I programmatically include a javascript external file inside the <bodypart of a HTML file, for example, using Javascript to some particular native functions?
I have a external file for example abc.js ,in this abc.js file no functions ,it contains some scripting,i want to call the scripting file though html I use the code

Is it possible to use javascript to write information to a log file that's on an external site? What I want to do is have a person put their name and birthday into a form on my site, and then output that information to a partnering site's log file which would be something like www.whatever.com/whatever.file Is this possible? what file type can javascript write to? I put .file because I am unsure.
Im loading a div of an external html (#right_in) into a div (#right) in my main movie this way:
Code: var toLoad = divobj.id+'.html #right_in'; function loadContent() { $('#right').load(toLoad);
[Code]....
Is it possible to specify that the DIV has to load always at y=0, ie from the top? Because when I load another external div into my main div firefox keeps the latest position (if I scrolled before it loads the new page at that point).
I am looking for a way to select a file from a list and load it into a webpage. The page and the files are stored on a sd-card for off-line usage, I know that listing files remote dynamicly needs a scripting engine but since the sd-card is on the client side that is not possible, but I can make a list of those files when creating them.
It is intended for a datalogger on a tractor-puller, I create csv files with a bash script on the logger and for off-line viewing I use a javascript charting engine which loads the csv file, the files have the creation date as filename and I can make (and maintain) a list of files when creating them. The plan is that the we can select another data set (run) from within the browser and show that one. I have setup an example at [URL]
I have the following HTML file: --- <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script> </head> <body> Hi There. <a href="javascript:doit()">Click Me</a> </body> </html> ---
The following js file: -- function doit() { alert("I did it"); } --
Running htm file locally (double click) gives me security warning (XP SP 2) but if I then select "allow script to run" everything works fine.
But when I serve page through IIS (localhost) I get a syntax error line 4 char 4. Of course there is no line 4 in the js file.
This HAS to be something simple I am missing but I have tried: - with and without language attribute in script tag - relative and absolute paths for the js file - with and without Mime type for js set in IIS
Only remaining thing I guess it could be is file permissions but everything has execute on it as far as I can see.

I am looking for either a JavaScript or Coldfusion solution to the following problem. First, there are over 60 million product photos so downloading and resizing the photos using Coldfusion would be very tedious.
I would like the display an image within a 100 x 100 pixel container.
If the height or width of the image is great than 100 pixels, the image should reduce in size to fit within the 100 x 100 pixel container.
I want to avoid pixelation of the images as much as possible.
All images are external and not on the local server so I only have an image URL.
I would like to hide all images until they are resized appropriately.
Does anybody know of a piece of javascript code that can do something similar to this?
I have a number off videos that I want to play on a video player that I made using Flash. I can change what video the player plays by changing the filename in the red line in the following code.
