Yeah, I found that.

I just did a little googling and found it.

your sysadmin has probably made these settings on you. I run a local
coldFusion webserver to develop against and don't get this error because
my browser is config'd not to do so.

the sysadmin msy have locked it on you so you can't change it=20

I figured out what it was.

IE throws the ActiveX warning if you call the XmlHttpRequest object
from a page served from your localhost.

Since, I was running my webserver on the same computer, it was giving
me the warning.

When I ran it from an external computer, it was fine.

Thanks.

Re: [xmljs-users] XmlHttpRequest Object

From a quick inspection, that looks like it should work OK. XML for <SCRIPT> doesn't use
XMLHttpRequest so beyond that, I'm at a loss :)

[xmljs-users] XmlHttpRequest Object

[Heath B. <hea...@gm...>]

I'm trying to use the XmlHttpRequest Object to make requests back to
my web server to retrieve some Xml data.  The request object itself
works fine and the request comes back just fine.  However, every time
I make the request, my browser prompts my about using an ActiveX
control that is safe for scripting.  The example websites I've viewed
that use the XmlHttpRequest Object call it the same way I do, and I
don't get this warning when I view those pages.

Here is a link to an example page:

http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/XMLHttpRequestExample/example.html

Here is my function that actually calls the XmlHttpRequest Object:
function loadXMLDoc(url) {
    // branch for native XMLHttpRequest object
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        req = new XMLHttpRequest();
        req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
        req.open("GET", url, true);
        req.send(null);
    // branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version
    } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
        req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        if (req) {
            req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
            req.open("GET", url, true);
            req.send();
        }
    }
}

Re: [xmljs-users] xmljs on Netscape 4.7x ?

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

Hello!

The classic DOM has been tested and will work on Netscape 4.x (and IE 4.x for that matter) but the
w3cdom will not (it uses try/catch all over the place). There's even a small classic dom sample
code snippit especially for 4.x browsers here:

http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/sampleApplications-classicdom.html

There is a decent possibility that the sax parser will work on generation 4 browsers (it does not
use try/catch), but it was not tested.

Best regards,

David

[xmljs-users] xmljs on Netscape 4.7x ?

[C W. <jeo...@ag...>]

The FAQ says:

XML for <SCRIPT> has been tested to work with Netscape, Mozilla, Konqueror,
Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer.
 - http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/documentation-faq.html


Has anyone tried Netscape 4.7x? Or is this just referring to 6+?

RE: [xmljs-users] deep copy nodes between xml documents with JS

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

I think herein lies my confusion. I was focusing too much on the DocumentFragment part. ImportNode
is really the appropriate method to be calling for what you're trying to do.

> yeah, that was the only way I could get it to work - but work it does!
Yea! 

> thanx for your help, David
always a pleasure

> I'm using '.getAttribute(name)' elsewhere in the code but saw
> 'getAttributeNode(name)' in the docs. Are they interchangable?

Not directly...

getAttributeNode breaks down to 
DOMElement.prototype.getAttributeNode = function DOMElement_getAttributeNode(name) {
  // delegate to DOMNamedNodeMap.getNamedItem
  return this.attributes.getNamedItem(name);
};

getAttribute breaks down to 
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; // if Attribute exists, return its value, otherwise, return ""
};

So getAttributeNode gives you a node object while getAttribute will give you the node object's
value, or "" if the query can't find what you're looking for. 

Best regards,

David

RE: [xmljs-users] deep copy nodes between xml documents with JS

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

ach, I've narrowed it down. It's the adding of the other doc's element
to the fragment that it doesn't like

// xmlToAdd and masterXmlDoc are both xml docs

addrToAdd =3D xmlToAdd.documentElement;
doc_frag =3D masterXmlDoc.createDocumentFragment();
doc_frag.appendChild(addrToAdd); ////// here \\\\\
masterAddressRoot =3D
masterXmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("addresses").item(0);
masterAddressRoot.appendChild(doc_frag);
alert(masterXmlDoc);=20

I've seen lots of examples where the "guts" of the fragment is created
(createElement) but no where is it an existing node of another doc.

is this the correct reference to the other xml node?

thanx
barry.b

BTW, this works just fine

addrToAdd =3D xmlToAdd.documentElement;
// get the parent the "address" node
masterAddressRoot =3D
masterXmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("addresses").item(0);
doc_frag =3D masterAddressRoot.importNode(addrToAdd, true);
masterAddressRoot.appendChild(doc_frag);
alert(masterXmlDoc);

Creating a DOMDocumentFragment and inserting it into the document using
the standard
append*/insert* methods should do the trick for you.

(I gave up on the classic - sorry)

all I gotta do is turn "xmlFragment" (not a real DocumentFragment yet)
into something I can insert into the master=20

there isn't really a copyNode(deep) or insertFragment(node) is there...
...any suggestions? perhaps loop over each xmlFragment.ChildNodes and
.attributes, adding them to the master (using createTextnode,
createAttribute, etc)?

thank heaps
barry.b


PS:

[James and David:]
the penny has (finally) dropped re: diff xml implementation, so much so
that (later) I'll convert the ActiveX version to the W3C version as soon
as the xnlhttprequest retrieves the data (at the moment I'm doing it
before populating the form - my bad). I'll do the same with the firefox
version when I get that working.

There's no reason why you can't use xmlhttprequest and XML for <SCRIPT> at the same time, is
there? It should be possible to use xmlhttprequest and simply insert the resulting xml string from
the request object into an XML for SCRIPT DOM object. Standardizing on a single DOM Implementation
should get you past this and will likely prevent a whole host of other problems later. Since the
API of the two dom objects should be pretty much the same, it shouldn't even require much (if any)
rework on your part.

You could also look into the xmlIO functions of XML for <SCRIPT> to get your XML String from the
server and do your RMI. However, if you're using browsers that you know support xmlhttprequest,
I'll be the first to admit that object does provide a more robust API and less hoops to jump
through.

xmlhttprequest should be fine here, as long as you use it just for data retrieval. If you're
talking xml data islands (the IE proprietary thing) I think maybe you're making things harder for
yourself than you have to. 

Is there some reason you can't post some simple source code to help us help you out? A very simple
recreation that outlines what you're trying to do will go a long way in helping us understand your
environment.

Re: [xmljs-users] deep copy nodes between xml documents with JS

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

thanx for your help, James.

holy mackrel! that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Create a master xml =
doc (data island) and then add nodes (copy) to it from the =
xmlhttprequest xml doc.

the xmlhttprequest *has* to be there - it's providing lookup data that =
gets displayed in a form for editing (think remote procedure calls).

As each lookup happens I have to store the previous changes somewhere =
(the master doc?) and then post that as one hidden field back to the =
server for processing. The master doc basically provides a new root node =
and some id attributes, ready to be filled with child nodes from the =
xmlhttprequest doc.

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to get this to work. =
It never occured to me that they'd be two incompatable xml objects.

looks like I've been tricked into thinking this could work because I can =
use some JS functions to manip the xmlhttpreqest doc already (to display =
in form elements or post back to the server, yes, but not copy or =
clone).

now I'm really stuck. any ideas on how I can aggrigate the results of =
each lookup (ie: add nodes) to send back to the server in one hidden =
form field? looks like the data island idea won't work....

(in panic mode) I'm thinking that, since there's form elements involved, =
I might get away with creating xml nodes on the fly and just copying the =
data and attribute values (up to 4 per child node). I've had to do =
something similar serverside with ColdFusion - java didn't want to play =
nice (eg like this: =
http://www.spike.org.uk/blog/index.cfm?do=3Dblog.day&day=3D4&month=3D6&ye=
ar=3D2004)

any suggestions are most appreciated

worried...

Re: [xmljs-users] deep copy nodes between xml documents with JS

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

What XML do you get after your clone/import? I won't be able to look at this until tonight, but
what you're describing should work -at least on first inspection...

[xmljs-users] deep copy nodes between xml documents with JS

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

hi all

I've got a simple xml doc loaded on a page. I then get an additional xml
doc using the xmlhttprequest object.

what I want to do is get a deep copy of a particular node from the
additional doc and append it to the first one.

I've tried importNode(), various combinations of cloneNode(), et all,
but can't seem to snag it.

can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

thanx
barry.b


here's the JS, run after the xmlhttprequest object gets each additional
doc

	function addAddressToMasterDoc(xmlAddress){
		var addressNode =3D xmlAddress.firstChild;
		masterXmlDoc.importNode(addressNode);
	}=20



masterXmlDoc (before):
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

<entity id=3D"12345" type=3D"student">
	<fname>Fred</fname>
	<lname>Flintstone</lname>
</entity>


xmlAddress:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
<address addrType=3D"residential">
	<addr1>12 stone st</addr1>
	<addr2>Bedrock</addr2>
</address>

masterXmlDoc (after - what I'm trying to get):
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
<entity id=3D"12345" type=3D"student">
	<fname>Fred</fname>
	<lname>Flintstone</lname>
	<address addrType=3D"residential">
		<addr1>12 stone st</addr1>
		<addr2>Bedrock</addr2>
	</address>
</entity>

Re: [xmljs-users] New to XML-- question about a tag format

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

Hi Randy!

<ingredient /> is an XML-legal way of saying "<ingredient></ingredient>" so it looks like the XML
itself is OK.

However, I just tried a simple test case with tags like that in both the classic DOM and W3C DOM
parsers and was able to parse/read data just fine. Perhaps the XML is not well formed somewhere
else?

Here's the little test file recreation I put together. Maybe it will help us figure out what the
problem is. The easiest place to put it is in the jsXMLParser directory...


Best regards,

David

[xmljs-users] New to XML-- question about a tag format

[Fumigator <fum...@ar...>]

HI!  I'm playing with xml for <SCRIPT>, having fun, but have a
question.  There is a specific xml file that was created by some
random guy that contains tags that look like this:

<recipe name="Dark Brown" cost="1375" sellback="1250" skill="216">
      <ingredient quantity="1" name="Crushed Juniper Berries" dropped="0" />
      <ingredient quantity="1" name="Thin Metal Flask" dropped="0" />
      <ingredient quantity="6" name="Alum" dropped="0" />
      <ingredient quantity="6" name="Flask of Water" dropped="0" />
</recipe>

The Classic DOM does not parse the <ingredient> tags correctly.  Or I
should say, I'm not sure that format of "<ingredient />", rather than
"<ingredient></ingredient>", is legal.

Would the W3C DOM parse this tag correctly?  I tried it first, but was
getting an exception error with it using Firefox.

Any suggestions?

-Randy Whitaker

Re: [xmljs-users] Error Code: Unknown/undefined

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

Just curious, what version of XML for <SCRIPT> are you using? 3.1 fixes some bugs that 3.0 had,
including one with empty elements. Take a look at 

http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/documentation-faq.html#faqknownbugs

and see if maybe this is  a known 3.0 issue (if that's what you're using) and if 3.1 fixes it...

Can you provide a quick and tiny recreation that shows what you're seeing please? That'll help a
lot.
