Parsing Javascript From Local Html File

Jan 11, 2007

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?

Import Local XML File And Create HTML Table Via JavaScript

Oct 6, 2005

I'm trying to output an HTML page from a simple XML file, but I need to offer this as a service from a website, so users can browse and find the XML file on their local hard drives, and then generate an HTML page.

I think there are some security issues with HTTP not being able to access local files (ie. C: emp.xml) because it doesn't work when I browse to a local file from the website (files on servers work fine). Is there any other way to pass an XML file from local to a website?

I'm using the following javascript to load the XML file.

var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load(filepath)

Use Client Side .js File To Load A Local .html File?

May 18, 2009

I have a .js file, we want to make it to load a html file right next to it, both files are on client system. I couldn't find any such examples and some posts talked about JavaScript security issues, I wonder if it is related to what I want.

Someone said .js file is not really JaveScript file, though Microsoft named it 'JavaScript'.

note that I am trying to "call" .html file from the .js file, not embed html code in .js.

Dom Parsing XML File To HTML?

May 11, 2011

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.

HTML Code
Code:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"[URL]">
<head>
<title>Bookstore</title> .....

Javascript Parsing HTML From XML

Jul 20, 2006

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?

Server Side Javascript Parsing Of HTML?

Jan 23, 2007

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.

Open XML File On Local Machine With HTML Page

Dec 1, 2010

I need to be able to search through an xml located on my local machine with an html page. Here's the thing: this whole system (html files, xml file) will always be on my local machine. Because it's a class project it won't be on a server. So here's the scenario: I navigate to where my files are located (say C:) and I double click my index.html page and this page opens in my browser and from this page I need to be able to search my xml file which is at the same location. I've tried xmlhttprequest and it won't open the xml file I'm guessing because I don't need an http request.

Here's what I have so far:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} xmlhttp.open("GET","C:MovieDB.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;

function searchDB() {
if(!xmlDoc){
alert("error")
} var keyword = $('#txtBox').val();
var searchVal = $('#basicCategory :selected').text();
var allitems = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Movie");
for(var i=0;i<allitems.length;i++){
alert(allitems[i].getElementsByTagName(searchVal[0].
childNodes[0].nodeValue);
} }
The code doesn't make it past the xmlhttp.send() line.

HTML Application - Can Javascript Write To A Local Database?

Jul 23, 2005

IE 6.0 (not interested in other browsers at the moment)

I have looked everywhere I can find to look and googled until I am
cross-eyed and am hoping somebody knows what I'm doing wrong.

I have an HTML application (.hta) working fine, except one thing. I'm
trying to write to a local database from a .htm window (opened from
the main .hta window) and it doesn't work with any of the combinations
I've tried (and I admit to having tried a lot).

Here is one method I've tried:

strSQL = "Update myTable SET myField = 'myValue' WHERE myID = 12;"
var db = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection");
db.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0";0
db.ConnectionString = "Data Source='c:myDirectorymyDatabase.mdb'";
db.Open;
db.execute(strSQL);

I can easily access the information in the myDatabase.mdb and display
it on the screen.

I can ask for updated information to be input on the screen.

But stuffing that updated information back into the database is the
problem.

Since I'm stuck in an .htm window, I don't have VBScript available, do
I? If VBScript isn't available and it isn't physically possible with
Javascript, then I'll have to revert to .hta windows, where I know I
have VBScript available. But I'd rather do it all in Javascript
within the .htm so as to avoid the security message that pops up when
the .hta opens a new .hta. For various reasons I don't think it is
possible for me to do this whole project within a single .hta.

Including A Javascript External File From The <body> Part Of An HTML File

Sep 26, 2007

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?

Parsing HTML With HTML On External Page

Feb 18, 2011

I have an external page with some rudimentary html in the source code missing many tags.. a bit like the below. On a page hosted elsewhere I need to take the html from this external page and add and remove certain parts of it and add some styling such as line breaks before ^FIELD01. I've looked at jquery and AJAX but cant find anything to suit my needs. I think what I am struggling with most is having this page in a variable to then be able to edit it.

Code:
^BEGIN SEARCH FORM
<form name="dancesearch" action="JJList.html?PHPSESSID=604918b69ab9936e638b5d48cdc142a3&xt=673">
^FIELD01: Dance Name<input name="ts" type="text" size="20" maxlength="25" />

Attaching Javascript Event To A Built In Advance Html File...

Apr 24, 2006

I need to attach a javascript function I wrote to the onChange event of
a <select> tag. However, I'm using a 3rd party tool that creates the
html files - it only lets me add bits of html to it, I can't touch the
elements it produces, so I can't just add an onChange="myfunction"
attribute to that <select> tag. I can't change the onload attribute of
the <body> tag.

How can I run code that attached my function to that event?

Parsing Data From An Xml File

Sep 6, 2010

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.

Parsing XML File - Returns No Output

Oct 6, 2010

I have a simple XML file that looks something close to this:

<presence id="12345">
<status>in a meeting</status>
<priority>1</priority>

[Code]....

If you require a bit more info on the project itself, here's a rundown: This xml file is created by an internal chat app at my office. Each employee has their own xml file listing their current availability and status (hence "in a meeting"). This will be used to determine the availability of certain individuals in the building without having to be logged in to the chat app. That's why there's multiple xml files going to be used (roughly 10-15 in the end).

JQuery :: Parsing An XLM File: TypeError: A Is Null?

Aug 2, 2010

This seems like a noob error, but I really googled it out, with not much results. Got stuck on just grabbing the XML. I validated the code with the w3.org validator and it's only missing a doctype. I've checked that the file is saved with no bom. It's served from my local Apache installation.

The error I get is:

With Firebug I got:

The jQuery code:

The headers look ok to me.Response Headers

I simplified the XML and just put it in a file, but the same error comes up even when the XML is generated with PHP. I did try to change the MIME type in the request and the response, but it's all the same.

Also, if I serve a file I get a 206, and a 200 response code for the same XML generated through PHP (using header("Content-type: text/xml")).

It should not be a cross-domain issue, as it's loaded and served from my localhost?

I did implement my script first for IE8 (sidebar gadget) without jQuery and works nicely with my PHP generated XML. Then I decided to pick up jQuery and hit the first wall head on.

Parsing Xml Feed With Javascript

Oct 27, 2007

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?
