I have an XML file that among other things has the following node.
As you can see it contains HTML tags.
<description lang="en">
<![CDATA[
<div class="descrBoxRight" style=" top:250; left:200">
ENGLISH <b>ENGLISH</bENGLISH ENGLISH
</div>
]]>
</description>
With javascript, in Mozilla, I easily retrieve the content of the
XML "description" tag using the following line of code
var myStuff = myDescrNode.textContent;
However, in IE (6.0)
var myHTML = myDescrNode.textContent;
and
var myHTML = myDescrNode.innerText;
do not work, resulting in myHTML being undefined.
Alternative solutions? Should I remove the CDATA tag
and use a completely different method?
I have a web page that I created that should basically do the following:
Parse an xml feed with javascript and display the contents to the page.
The problem is as follows:
I can parse the feed and display it using javascript but it only works for internet explorer. For some reason when I try doing it in firefox, it doesnt do anything and nothing displays.
I think it might have to do with the fact that it is loaded from url.
Any comments?
Since XMLHTTP Request does not support loading of XML from other
servers, I decided to use a trick:
load XML into hidden iframe and then get that XML with JavaScript to
parse.
But, is this a good idea? I am stuck. How do I get XML loaded in the
iframe and pass it on to JS function for parsing?
For a project I am working on, I need to retrieve links from html
documents. The easy part is to obtain 'plain' links like <A
HREF="http://site/path/document">, but when those links are
javascript'ized, the only robust solution needs to load the javascript
and dom document representation in the same way that browsers do. For
example, links in the form:
<A HREF="javascript:function_declared_before("arguments"));>
First I though that using spidermonkey (the mozilla javascript
interpreter) should be enough, but in that case, I dont have the
document structure elements (like document, window, document.history,
document.form.element, etc), so I tried parsing the document using a
library to build a tree representation of it, but that leads me to the
same problem again, that is, I have to represent all tree nodes as
javascript entities.
Anybody here have worked on a similar problem? What tools do you
think I should take a look?
I'm writing a program on Zimki, which I think uses SpiderMonkey as a server side Javascript engine.
My idea is to have an html file that someone else created, and look inside for cells in a table that have special known names, like name, description, etc. Then I want to figure out the <tr<tr/pair that encloses all of those special tags, and use that as a template to generate a bigger table from another datasource.
So, I'm wondering how I actually open a file and then parse it as html so I can poke around the DOM, all from the server side without involving a browser client.
I am trying to write a script which will allow me to read the contents of an
HTTP web page into memory, parse the data, and output a calculated value.
The HTTP page is on a web enable appliance - I am reading some data out of a
table for further calculation. I can't modify the web appliance, only read
the text data.
I've written a script on my Windoze PC that successful uses a MSXML2 ActiveX
object to read the contents of a web page into memory using the
xmlhttp.responseText object. The problem is that the ActiveX object is not
available on a lightweight Linux based http server.
I need to write a script that will work with ASP/Javascript on a lightweight
Linux based http server.
When I try to parse xml fixed string following code works fine. When I try to parse the string get from remote server.(bellow code example) It gives me an error unterminated string. I think this error is because of large string. Code:
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have an ajax script that requests data from a database. Some of the fields contain html. I would like to know the easiest way to parse an xml file that looks like such:
<response>
<poster>Poster name here</poster>
<title>Title goes here, may contain a link</title>
<text>html content here</text>
</response>
i can't seem to figure out an easy way of parsing all the contents between a tag, what is the easiest way? I'm trying to fix a script that doesnt work when the text area contains html and i can't get it to work.
I can't figure out how to parse the following string and to decompose
it into substring.
CuttingFlags--C500F2*#C503F3*#C509F10*#C506F2*F15##
Basically, each C should go in an array. and for each C I should have
an array of F.
CuttingFlags array contains C500, C503, C509 and C506
C500 contains F2, C506 contains F2 and F15.....
Can you help to parse the string first?
I wrote something like:
var table=Array();
$.post("script.php", {arg1: a}, function(xml) {
$(xml).find("tagname").each(function() {
table[table.length]=$(this);
});
});
The code works OK in Firefox and Google Chrome, but it fails in Konqueror (khtml) or IE 8.0: the resulting array is empty although the xml read by Ajax call is OK. I tried also with "$("tagname", xml).each()" - same result.
I'm trying to work with XML DOM for the first time as I need to grab a value from a SOAP request. I've been following this: [URL], which says modern browsers won't parse xml files from another server for security reasons. How would I got about doing this then? I've been using the price of crude oil as an example [URL] and want code portable enough to put on something like Tumblr, so I don't think I can actually save the file locally first.

I have a project coming up this summer that will include having to run a quiz like application from several machines disconnected from the internet.
I was hoping to be able to have all of the quiz data in an XML file and the actual quiz page as html/js. The machines will be using IE5/Mac.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to get a hold of a machine for testing until very close to the deadline, so I need to know what technologies will and wont work for the browser.
What kind of compatibility issues (if any) should I be weary of?
I have a url with parameters like the following:
http://test.com/mycode.html?xyz&myvar=value2
I need to endup with the following available to JS
base_file = mycode.html
parameter1 = xyz
parameter2 = value2 or myvar = value 2
What is the easiest way to parse the query string out of the url? When I use self.location I get everything.
Lets say I am on one of the following pages:
[url]
[url]
[url]
I would like to get the value of id (i.e. 2).
How to do so? Also, should I start with window.location.search or window.location.href?
I am trying to parse a feed using JS and have stucked on the <content:encoded> tag. I have tried getElementsbyTagName but its not working.

However, I haven't figured out how to retrieve it in XML format. Basically, here's the script that's supposed to retrieve and parse the data when you pass it the url of the page generating the XML data:

of replace like
.replace("", ""), .replace(//g, "") but it still didn't work.
I'm trying to use it to load in an XML file and output some data. I followed a tutorial on it but my XML file isn't loading.[code]Now my thinking is that when the document loads, it alerts me that the jQuery is running, and it does this. I had hoped that after closing that alert, another one would show saying that the XML file has loaded - This would ensure that the function 'parseXML' has been called, but it does not return an alert or populate my#xml_addressbook div.My index page is at the root, and both my XML file and the javascript file are in a folder, as shown below.[code]

When I run the application, I'm getting the 'in AjaxSucceeded [object XMLDocument]' alert, but I cannot get inside of the 'each' loop.
The following example works great in Firefox, and Chrome but fails miserably in IE (6,7,8). I'm running JQuery 1.3.2 if it makes a difference:
$('resp',"<root><resp>value</resp></root>").text();
That evaluates to "value" in everything except IE.
DOM Parsing XML file (am new to using DOM and parsing files) and I am practicing with example files I found online (W3C). I am trying to use DOM to parse and XML file and then display the info retrieved from the XML file in HTML using Javascript. The files are working well and validate, but nothing is displayed when I open the file up in a browser only the style sheet background color I am using. There are 3 JS functions, one loads the XML, the second gets the info and the third displays it. Here is the code, minus the Style sheet I have been trying to figure this out.

Code:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>

I am currently working on displaying KML-values of ElementTags within my KML File. I already integrated the KML file as an overlay to my Google Map. But how am I able to parse the GGeoXml-object or how am I able to parse external [URL].. instead of just "polygons.kml") XML-files?
At the moment my code for loading the geoxml file looks like this:

I'm trying to parse my data from an xml file now and print it out on the page based on date from my existing code. I have that working, with each item formatted the same way on the page What I'd like to do now is alter it a bit to make the most recent (the item listed on the top of the page) formatted differently and the rest of them as it is now. Something like - (if 1st <li> then build html like this else build html like that) I hope this makes sense.
