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

Hi,

I'm glad it worked for you. Can you send a quick code example of a situation where IE throws an
error please? I have IE 5 and I don't get any error condition reported to me in my test cases.

Thanks!

Re: [xmljs-users] query on the xml that return a sublist of tag that match with gived id?

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

Do you mean something like this?

<xml>
	<tag1 id="foo" />
	<tag2 id="goo" />
	<tag3 id="foo" />
</xml>

and you want to do a query on all tags that have "foo" as the id?

Is that what you're looking for?

If so, there isn't any way by default with XML for <SCRIPT> but it shouldn't be too hard to build
a recursive search that will go through all the tags and search for an id attribute that matches
your query.

If you really want to get into the code, you could also modify
DOMDocument.prototype.getElementById in xmlw3cdom.js to return what you're looking for. Right now
(by design) it returns the first node it finds with the correct id. It would be fairly simple to
modify that to return an array (or better yet a DOMNodeList) of nodes that match your search
query.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

David

RE: [xmljs-users] parsing problem

[Chandan K. <cha...@bl...>]

Thanks a lot.
The new file worked perfectly.

The old file works if the namespaceaware property is set to false as shown
here:
......................................................
	var parser = new DOMImplementation();
	//this property has to be set to false to enable the parser to read
tags closed in a single line
	//for eg <A ........ />
	parser.namespaceAware = false;
.......................................................

There is another problem with the file in internet explorer. This problem
was present in the old file too. An "exception thrown but not caught" error
is thrown in IE. This problem vanished when line 428 in the new file was
commented:
......................................................
	    else if(iEvt == XMLP._ERROR) {
      //throw(new DOMException(DOMException.SYNTAX_ERR));
.........................................................

Thanks,
Chandan

Hmm,

Well, isn't this embarrassing? Yes, I think I'm seeing your problem too. I don't have a root cause

[xmljs-users] parsing problem

[Chandan K. <cha...@bl...>]

Hi,
I started using xml for script just yesterday. 
 
I seem to be having  a problem with parsing xml. If the xml contains a line
like this 
 
<A attribute1 ='value1' attribute2='value2' />
 
the parser does not read this in the domimplementation object. I am using
the w3cdom implementation.
 
On the other hand,
xml like <A></A> works prefectly allright.
 
Please let me know how to get over this problem.
 
Thanks,
Chandan

Re: [xmljs-users] Setting up Perl Proxy

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

Hi Dave,

The contact manager app should just run with the local XML embedded inside the web page. You
shouldn't need the perl proxy at all for that. The only time the proxies come into play is if you
are needing to source your data from a domain outside of the one your web pages originate from. If
that's the case, you might want to take a look at the proxy test suite. It gives a good example of
how you use the proxies from javascript to get your XML. After that, everything is the same.

If you do end up needing the perl proxy to source your data, the resource URLs are just an ordered
list of the URLs that are the source for your data. For example

$resourceURLs[0] = "http://other.domain.xml/getxml.pl" or something like that. In your javascript,
you would reference this URL by it's position in the array (in this case 0). 

All that being said however, most people don't need to use the proxies. In the vast majority of
cases, the XML they need can be embedded in the page in something like an embedded text area. This
technique is described in
http://xmljs.sourceforge.net/website/documentation-faq.html#faqhowdoigetxmltobrowser

Hopefully, that will get you going. If not, please post again and I'll try to help. I'm actually
going to be only sporatically available during the next week or so (I'm in Brazil on business) but
I'll do the best I can to help out.

Best regards,

David

Re: Fwd: [xmljs-users] Escaping " ' " in .getText();

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

Hi!

If I'm reading your question right, I would just do the selectNode as you normally do. Once you
get the result, check for null. If it is null, you know that the node wasn't there. Otherwise, you
know it was and can continue as normal.

Does that work?

Re: [xmljs-users] Escaping " ' " in .getText();

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

Sorry, I'm not going to be able to be much help on the Curl side :)

The only thing I can think of is to do a regular expression search and replace for an apostropy
and escape it with the "\" escape character in your file names and paths.

The regular expression you would normally use to do something like this is:

s/'/\/'/g

which would turn all of the "'" characters into "\'".

JavaScript does things a little differently. You will probably want to have code that looks
similar to the following:

    var myAposString = "x'x'x";
    var regEx = /\'/g;
    var myEscapedString = myAposString.replace(regEx, "\\'");
    alert(myEscapedString);

In this case, myEscapedString will be x\'x\'x

From looking at your code below, I'm guessing that you would apply this regular expression to your
coverArtInfo[0] variable. Doing so might make Curl happy - but that's just a guess...

If you're still curious about what to do with the file I sent to you, here are all the steps you
would need to see my example.

1) gunzip the file (If you're not a UNIX user, winzip will do this for you)
2) overwrite the existing domTagPathExample.html in
xml_for_script-3.0/sampleApplications/classicDom/domSampleApplicationTagPath with the new file
3) load that file and hit the button. It performs a tagPath query and getText() on a node with a
CDATA child that contains an apostropy.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

David

Re: [xmljs-users] Escaping " ' " in .getText();

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

Hi!

I'm not sure I'm seeing what you are describing. I just tried a quick derivation of the tagpath
example application with some CDATA and an apostrophy and it seemed to work. Please see the
attached gzipped example. You can load it by replacing domTagPathExample.html in:

xml_for_script-3.0/sampleApplications/classicDom/domSampleApplicationTagPath

with the domTagPathExample.html I'm including with this message.

When I load that example and hit the button, it comes back with what I would expect, which is the
full string. Do you see something different?

When you say it doesn't work, what exactly do you mean? Does the string get cut off or truncated
at the position of the apostrophy when you call getText()? Or does the tagpath not work at all?

Would it be possible to put together a quick recreation and send that to me. If you can, I can
probably figure out what's going on pretty quick and get you going...

Thanks

David

[xmljs-users] Escaping " ' " in .getText();

[(Berklie) I. <in...@be...>]

Hi there,
I'm using XML for SCRIPT in the following manner:

var currentCoverArtPath = "/player_status/current_song/song/coverart";
var xmlFetchedCoverArt = xml.selectNode(currentCoverArtPath);
var fetchedCoverArt = xmlFetchedCoverArt.getText();

	if (fetchedCoverArt == "") { fetchedCoverArt =  
"Resources/background.png"; }
	else { theCoverArt.src = "http://192.168.1.100:9000" +  
fetchedCoverArt; }


This works great to display album Cover Art when the string is  
something like this:

<coverart><![CDATA[/music/ 
%2fVolumes%2fAlexandria%20Project%2fMusic%20Library%2fArtists%2fAdams,%2 
0Ryan%2f2001%20Gold%2f01-New%20York,%20New%20York.mp3/cover.jpg]]></ 
coverart>


But if the string has a " ' " in it, like this (with the  
"B-52's,%20The" or "1979%20The%20B-52's"):

<coverart><![CDATA[/music/ 
%2fVolumes%2fAlexandria%20Project%2fMusic%20Library%2fArtists%2fB- 
52's,%20The%2f1979%20The%20B-52's%2f01-Planet%20Claire.mp3/ 
cover.jpg]]></coverart>


It doesn't work. Obviously (well I think anyway), it's because the " '  
" is causing the script to think the statement is over. How can I get  
it to know that the " ' " is okay to have? I guess I'm trying to figure  
out how to "escape" it?

Thanks,
BD

RE: [xmljs-users] converting Word docs to xml and dynamically filling a site in xhtml

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

You're welcome Eric,

What kind of servers do they use? Most non-MS solutions already have an XML parser built into them
so you may be able to use something after all.

Please let me know if I can be any more help!

Best regards,

David

Re: [xmljs-users] converting Word docs to xml and dynamically filling a site in xhtml

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

Hi Eric,

I'm not sure the normal usage of XML for <SCRIPT> is going to be a whole lot of help for you since
it's primarily a client-side solution. However, you might be able to get around the "no XML parser
on the server" problem by using server-side Javascript in your (what I presume) ASP pages.

There shouldn't be any reason why XML for <SCRIPT> wouldn't work as a server-side parser. I assume
the JavaScript engine is the same between IE and IIS.

If the idea of using XML for <SCRIPT> on the server-side works for you, then you have a lot of
different options - the best (IMHO) is to use the XML parser to grab whatever XML you need and
then dynamically build the xhtml+css to send to the browsers. Since your work is primarily
content-oriented, that will probably get you where you need to go without having to use anything
truly fancy on the client's side.

Does this help you out? I'd be happy to answer any more specific questions if you still need some
assistance...


Best regards,

David

[xmljs-users] converting Word docs to xml and dynamically filling a site in xhtml

[Eric H. <eh...@du...>]

Hello,

I'm an xml rookie and am looking for some general guidelines on deploying an
xml parser and using it to pull content from a well-styled Word document
(eventually Quark documents). My overall goal is to create a mechanism that
uses xml to dynamically create and fill pages on a site with xhtml pages.

I post our University's alumni magazine online and am in the process of
converting all pages to xhtml strict. I'm educating myself on schemas, xslt,
etc., to figure out how to automate page creation and introduction of
content to those pages. I'm well versed in CSS and plan to keep presentation
there.

Our University IT group will not install an xml parser on the University's
production server, so I'll have to perform all transformation on our
department's server and manually load the complete online magazine site to
the University server. I also need to maintain an archive of all previous
issues online.

Optimally, I'd like to automate creation of each issues navigation as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ... I'd like to avoid using
proprietary solutions (Dreamweaver templates, Cold Fusion) if it's possible
to do the same work with xml.

Thanks ahead of time.

[xmljs-users] Announcing XML for <SCRIPT> 3.0!

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

Hello all!

XML for <SCRIPT> 3.0 has officially been released. For the curious, here are the release notes:



A standards-compliant W3C DOM Parser is added to the distribution. This DOM Parser complies with
the W3C Level 1 and Level 2 standards.
 
XML for SCRIPT 3.0's new DOM Parser comes complete with a new sample application as well as three
new test suites and extensive documentation.

XML for SCRIPT now has over a MegaByte of documentation!

A .NET Server-Side proxy has been added

An ASP Server-Side proxy has been added

The xmlIO functions have been extended to allow for XML loading from the current domain without
the need of a Server-Side proxy. A sample application demonstrating this feature has been added to
the distribution and full documentation is available.

This feature can also be used to load XML off of the local file system for developers creating
applications that run from the client's computer and do not use a web server.

A new site layout (still based off of Jennifer Sims' concept) has been introduced. This layout
adds space for all of the documentation required for XML for SCRIPT 3.0's feature set and allows
for further expansion in the future. It also allows for direct links to all pages.

A mailing list has been made available for users, developers and anyone else interested in XML for
SCRIPT to exchange ideas, questions and/or code.

A new Contributed Add-on has been created. The new "LinkChecker" Add-on allows developers to check
their sites for broken links simply by providing the address of the home page of the web site.
This Contributed Add-on is also fully documented.


More information can be found by visiting http://xmljs.sourceforge.net


Best regards,

David
