The example the user sent to me (I'm using xmljs for a Konfabulator
widget) was a blog entry on blogspot.com:

Hmm, here's the example RSS feed that has french characters:

Re: [xmljs-users] .removeChild() syntax - just can't get it right...

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

Hi Barry,

The problem is that the variable "addresses" is a DOMNodeList (returned from getChildNodes). A
DOMNodeList doesn't support removeChild.

Basically, you need to get yourself a reference back to the addresses node so you can call
removeChild.


Hope this helps!

I've never tried an Atom feed. Can you post as small an example as possible so we can take a look

Make sure the page's locale header specifies the proper encoding. Otherwise, the browser has to
guess what it should be and may very well guess wrong. Otherwise, it should work...

[xmljs-users] Atom Feeds and Encoding

[Brent J. <blj...@gm...>]

First off, I just started using xmljs and its great.  I'm using the
W3CDOM version and I've run into a couple problems.

1)  I can't get it to parse Atom feeds.  It just keeps returning a
NAMESPACE_ERR.  Anyone run into this and know how I can fix this, or a
way to get around it?

2)  Encoding!  I'm trying to pull an RSS feed thats in french and the
accented characters just keep coming back as garbled when I get the
node value of the text node containing the french text.

Thanks,

- Brent

[xmljs-users] Re: xmljs-users digest, Vol 1 #69 - 2 msgs

[James S. E. <jam...@co...>]

James,

Try something like this:

rows = doc.getElementsByTagName('row');
for (i=0;i<rows.length;i++) {
 cells = row.childNodes.items(i).getElementsByTagName('cell');
 for (j=0;j<cells.length;j++) {
  val  = cells.items(j).value;
  // do something with the value here
 }
}

That's just the basic algorithm off the top of my head. You will 
probably have to get the content of the first node of each cell element, 
which will be a textNode, and convert it to a JavaScript type. Perhaps 
someone else here could expound on that.

Re: [xmljs-users] Parsing dynamic XML recursively

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

Depending on what you're trying to do, the SAX parser might suite your needs very well. If you
need to use the DOM, take a look at the DOMNode documentation for getNextSibling and
getPreviousSibling. Those will probably get you what you're looking for. At the very least, you
can always count the child nodes and do a manual loop...

[xmljs-users] Parsing dynamic XML recursively

[James W. <swi...@ho...>]

I could not find an answer in the archives ... I would think (hope) there is 
a simple solution.

I have a dynamically generated XML document that containts a data grid.  It 
looks like this:

...
<datarow>
<data>45.567</data>
<data>33.552</data>
</datarow>
<datarow>
<data>67.132</data>
<data>45.297</data>
</datarow>
...

How can I iterate through the XML, reading each row, and then each cell?  I 
started off by searching for a command along the lines of 
getNextNode/getNextChildNode, etc., but I am stumped on how to do this.  All 
the examples seem to point to specific (known) nodes, and unique nodes at 
that.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [xmljs-users] can it be done?

[Sean S. <si...@gm...>]

I don't think it's possible to do what you want without some kind of
change to the server. You want to save data to the server, so you have
to change the server to be able to handle saving said data.

I recommend using SQLite, and just a simple one table database. The
.db file can be placed basically anywhere on the server's filesystem
(as long as the web server process has write access to it and its
directory). Then use PHP (or whichever language you prefer) to receive
commands from the web page and communicate with the database.

You could use XML for SCRIPT to read the data (I wouldn't), but you'd
have to write your own Javascript functions to save it back to the
database (at least that  was true the last time I used XML for
SCRIPT).

I wrote a commercial application that had to read, parse, alter, and
save XML data just a short while ago. Naturally, I can't reveal that
code, but I've also written another non-commercial application that
demonstrates what you have to do with SQLite, PHP, and Javascript to
read and save data (however, it uses JSON instead of XML).

Here's a link to a page demonstrating this stuff:
http://seancode.blogspot.com/2005/07/graffiti.html

The difference between JSON and XML in this case is that with JSON,
the parsing and stringifying is done  for you, so your code is a lot
smaller. With XML, I had to write my own XML parsing functions using
the DOM. This was the final reason I had to drop XML for SCRIPT for my
application: I needed it to work cross-browser, and its XML parsing
doesn't work on Safari or Konqueror. But using the DOM's
getElementsByName functions work on all KJS, Gecko, and IE browsers.

Also, in your PHP, when you're returning the XML to the browser, be
sure to set the content type to text/xml (I think that's right) and
use req.responseXML instead of req.responseText. The former gets you a
DOM object that you can parse. The latter just gives you a string that
you can't use any DOM functions on.

I hope this helps a little.

[xmljs-users] NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR when attempting new DOMImplementation()

[Larry S. <ls...@gm...>]

Hello.  I am trying to get help for using xmljs.  I wrote a jsUnit
test that calls "new DOMImplementation()".  However, Firefox 1.0
throws "[Exception... "Object cannot be created in this context"=20
code: "9" nsresult: "0x80530009 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR)"=20
location: ""]".

I ran the sample app for xpath in Firefox, and it works fine.  I made
sure that the HTML is including xmlsax.js, xmlw3cdom.js and
xmlxpath.js.

I would appreciate any help you might be able to offer.

Thank you.

Yup, that's probably the deal. I might even call that a bug, but I'd have to see how other parsers
handle that before addmitting a mea culpa :)

thanx for your help, David.

>> It should be off by default though

aye, it is and explicitly setting it to "false" didn't quite fix it.=20

but you *were* on the right track David, there *was* whitespace =
_between_ the nodes themselves - usually TAB's.

<f_name>	<![CDATA[ fred ]]>	</f_name>

so while "preserveWhiteSpace=3Dfalse" will handle "[ fred ]", the extra =

 You"re probably seeing the white space in your XML turned into XML =

whitespace is
 non-trivial and can be included as part of the document as its own =

Re: [xmljs-users] ELEMENT_NODE Vs TEXT_NODE

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

You're probably seeing the white space in your XML turned into XML nodes. In XML, whitespace is
non-trivial and can be included as part of the document as its own node.

XML for <SCRIPT> provides a way to turn this feature off in the DOMImplementation object. See

http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/documentation-w3cdom-DOMImplementation.html#DOMImplementationpreserveWhiteSpace

for more info. It should be off by default though. Are you turning it on for some reason?

[xmljs-users] ELEMENT_NODE Vs TEXT_NODE

[Barry B. <Ba...@al...>]

(this list has been so quiet that I'm wondering if I'm still =
subscribed...)

hi all

I'm really stumped on this (partly because I'm trying to muddle through =
this while being unwell)

I've got a bunch of child nodes that are returning alternating (and =
phantom) types (xml below). I've had to filter out the "phantoms" with=20

if(thisPeriod.nodeType =3D=3D 1)

Tracing the nodeType and length of childNodes I get 15 child nodes and =
their types are

3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3.=20

I should only have 7 childNodes (7 "periods"). Where have the 8 text =
nodes come from?

thanx
barry.b


   periods =3D =
timetableRoot.getElementsByTagName("periods").item(0).getChildNodes();
   for(var i=3D0;i<periods.length;i++){
    var thisPeriod =3D periods.item(i) // each child node
   =20
    if(thisPeriod.nodeType =3D=3D 1){// "1" =3D  DOMNode.ELEMENT_NODE; =
"3" =3D  DOMNode.TEXT_NODE
    .... process ...

- <periods>
    + <period currentperiod=3D"NO">

[xmljs-users] Re: xmljs-users digest, Vol 1 #63 - 2 msgs

[James S. E. <jam...@co...>]

Sanjeev,

This may be superfluous since David has provided a more detailed 
explanation but, when working with DOM attribute nodes, never assume the 
value will be a native string in the programming language you're using. DOM 
objects are built on DOM-specific primitive types - for portablilty among 
languages, I guess.

Regards,
James S. Elkins

Re: [xmljs-users] Comparision values returned by getAttribute()

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

Wow, you learn something new every day...

The reason you're seeing this is that the attribute value variables are created like this:
atributeValue = new String(valueFromXML);

What I didn't know until just now is that if you have the following construct in JavaScript,
you'll be doing an object comparison rather than a string comparison:

var x = new String("FOO");
var y = new String("FOO");

//object comparison
alert(x==y);

If you do an alert(typeof x), you'll get a return value of "object" rather than "string"

This is why your comparison is failing, but I without more research I can't tell you why creating
a string with new String() doesn't actually create a "string" object.


Thankfully, the fix is easy :)

On or about line 2859 in xmlw3cdom.js, you'll see a line of code that says "return ret". The fix
is to change that line to "return ret.toString()"

I've included the full function below (with the fix) just to provide more context:
DOMElement.prototype.getAttribute = function DOMElement_getAttribute(name) {
  var ret = "";

  // if attribute exists, use it
  var attr = this.attributes.getNamedItem(name);

  if (attr) {
    ret = attr.value;
  }

  return ret.toString(); // if Attribute exists, return its value, otherwise, return ""
};


Hopefully that will get you going. By the way, thanks for the *great* testcase.

Good luck!

[xmljs-users] Comparision values returned by getAttribute()

[<san...@ya...>]

It seems like comparing the string value returned by
getAttribute() always results in failure even though
they have the same value:

<HTML>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<script src="../jsXMLParser/xmlw3cdom.js"></script>
<script src="../jsXMLParser/xmlsax.js"></script>
<script>
function foo(){
	var strXML = "<root id=\"root\"><child
id=\"child1\"/><child id=\"child1\"/></root>";

	//instantiate the W3C DOM Parser
	var parser = new DOMImplementation();

	//load the XML into the parser and get the
DOMDocument
	var domDoc = parser.loadXML(strXML);

	var children =
domDoc.getDocumentElement().getChildNodes();


	var str1 = children.item(0).getAttribute("id");
	var str2 = children.item(1).getAttribute("id")

	alert ("str1 = " + str1 + ", str2 = " + str2);

	alert(str1 == str2); //always false  <========
}
</script>
<BODY onload="foo()">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Why is this? Is there a way around this?

thanks.

RE: [xmljs-users] Re-ordering XML data...

[Eljon G. <eg...@re...>]

In the example below, the function would be moveSectionUp() or moveSectionD=
own().  Those functions call updateNode(), which is I function I wrote to f=
ind the node and use tNode.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(tValue), which actu=
ally resets the order of the section.  I think your idea of re-ordering the=
 nodelist is something I had not considered but should be possible once I t=
hink it out....Thanks for the inspiration...

So far i have come up with....This function would be called right before I =
save the XML object to the hidden form field.


function reOrderNodes(){
 // Re-order the nodes so that the XML document accurately reflects the cha=
nges made
 var tSections =3D pageRoot.getElementsByTagName(sectionElement);  // secti=
onElement =3D 'section'
 var tTempObj =3D null;  // used to temporary swap nodes
 var i =3D 0;
=20
 // First do sections
  tCurrentSection =3D pageRoot.getElementsByTagName(sectionElement).item(i)=
;
  tCurrentSectionOrder =3D tCurrentSection.getElementsByTagName(orderElemen=
t).item(i);  // orderElement =3D 'orderNumber'
=20
  while(tCurrentSection.getNextSibling() !=3D null) {
 =20
   tNextSection =3D pageRoot.getElementsByTagName(sectionElement).item(i+1)=
;
   tNextSectionOrder =3D tNextSection.getElementsByTagName(orderElement).it=
em(0);
    =20
   // if current section order is greater than next section swap
   if(tCurrentSectionOrder.getFirstChild().getNodeValue() > tNextSectionOrd=
er.getFirstChild().getNodeValue()) {
    tTempObj =3D tCurrentSection;
    tCurrentSection =3D tNextSection;
    tNextSection =3D tTempObj;
   } else {
    break;
   }
  =20
   tCurrentSection =3D pageRoot.getElementsByTagName(sectionElement).item(i=
);
   i++;
  }
}=20

Let me know if I am now in the right direction...Thanks...

P.S.  I had plans to work alittle this weekend on this but I might not...Su=

Can you do a quick example (just the XML below and how you're trying to man=
ipulate it) so I can
take a look this weekend? I know the XPATH stuff in xmljs is pretty basic a=
nd probably doesn't
support what you're looking for, but it may be possible to enhance it to su=
pport what you're
looking for. At the very least, it should be easy to create a function that=
 will reorder a
nodelist in whatever way you're looking for...

Can you do a quick example (just the XML below and how you're trying to manipulate it) so I can

[xmljs-users] Re-ordering XML data...

[Eljon G. <eg...@re...>]

Hi,

This is my last hurdle to overcome (I think) in using XML and the xmlJS lib=
rary.  I use this technology to allow users to control the layout (order, a=
ctive/inactive, labeling) of pages in our application.  However the orderin=
g is based on an <orderNumber> element I created by it does not change the =
"position" of the <section> in the XML file.  My question is there a way to=
 re-order elements?  I can only display the elements by using the XPath pos=
ition() function.  Here is the way it works now and the desired result:

How it looks now:


<section>
<id>1</id>
<name>My Section</name>
<orderNumber>02</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>
<section>
<id>2</id>
<name>My Other Section</name>
<orderNumber>01</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>
The desired results:

<section>
<id>2</id>
<name>My Other Section</name>
<orderNumber>01</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>
<section>
<id>1</id>
<name>My Section</name>
<orderNumber>02</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>

Thanks.

[xmljs-users] XML -> HTML Table

[g.e.c.c.o <g.e...@gm...>]

hi everyone,

i have a "little" problem

 I have to pass a XML File in an HTML file with JavaScript and the
EventHandler "ondragdrop". The XML file should be placed with  "drag&drop"
in an existing html table which is loaded before in the browser. Then the
cells of the table in the html page should be filled  in with the
Information form the XML Document.

Can somebody help me ??
Maybe somepne already have such a code example?

Thanks for helping from Austria

 

Bye

I take it that this is a specific implementation issue and as such does =
not specifically reflect on the XMLforScript API?

I just ask 'cos we use coldfusion too...


thanx
