JavaScript - Access An Xml File From A Server
Hi,
I am trying to access an XML file from a server in my JavaScript code. I have an XML file like this: -<stream version="1.2"> -<room id="simulator" time="128168557915"> -<dimention id=0 x="1.25" y="2.00"> <m mcu="160" sid="75"> </dimention> </room> -<room id="simulator" time="128168557928"> -<dimention id=0 x="1.95" y="1.86"> <m mcu="160" sid="55"> </dimention> </room> </stream> this file is generated by an application and I can access it from a URL ( since I am using the simulator for this application the XML is accessible from http://localhost:8081/feed/demo) This xml file is updated every few seconds and constantly growing. I have a javascript code which I've added the following code to it in order to use the data from XML file: <script type="text/javascript"> if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.open("GET","http://localhost:8081/feed/demo",false); xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML; document.write("<table border='1'>"); var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("room"); for (i=0;i<x.length;i++) { document.write("<tr><td>"); document.write(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("dimention")[i].getAttribute("x")); document.write("</td><td>"); } document.write("</table>"); </script> Now here comes my problem: if I have the XML file saved on same drive as html page and I address it like this: xmlhttp.open("GET","floor.xml",false); it works fine, but when I pass the URL it doesn't. is there anything else I should do in case of loading the xml from URL? my second question is that I want to use the text values returned by xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("dimention")[i].getAttribute("x") in an if statement like this : if (valuereturned = 2.00) { do sth } what is the best way to do that, since the returned value is a text. I need the answer ASAP and I really appreciate your help, thanx :-) Similar TutorialsI have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page. The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script. The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers? Thanks in advance for any help. Javascript Code Code: window.onload = initAll;
var xhr = false;
function initAll() {
document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
document.getElementById("makeXMLRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
}
function getNewFile() {
makeRequest(this.href);
return false;
}
function makeRequest(url) {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) { }
}
}
if (xhr) {
xhr.onreadystatechange = showContents;
xhr.open("GET", url, true);
xhr.send(null);
}
else {
document.getElementById("updateArea").innerHTML = "Sorry, but I couldn't create an XMLHttpRequest";
}
}
function showContents() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
if (xhr.responseXML && xhr.responseXML.contentType=="text/xml") {
var outMsg = xhr.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("choices")[0].textContent;
}
else {
var outMsg = xhr.responseText;
}
}
else {
var outMsg = "There was a problem with the request " + xhr.status;
}
document.getElementById("updateArea").innerHTML = outMsg;
}
}

Your help is very much appreciated. Regards, lep2 Hello! How can you make a bookmarklet access an external file? (C:/testFile). The external file code is simply: Code: alert("hello");
I have tried the following code to call my external file: Code: javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='file::/C:/testFile';})();
...but it's not working. Please help. I am using Windows 7 and IE8. Any solutions appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jman I have HTML page which use js function and worked fine b4 I pull out the javascripts function from that page. Then later, I created .js file for the js functions and test again, the function doesn't work anymore. In .js file, <script type="text/javascript"> var upload_number = 2; function addFileInput() { var d = document.createElement("div"); var file = document.createElement("input"); file.setAttribute("type", "file"); //file.setAttribute("name", "attachment"+upload_number); file.setAttribute("name", "ufile[]"); file.setAttribute("size", "40"); d.appendChild(file); document.getElementById("moreUploads").appendChild(d); upload_number++; } </script> ************* Then in html page, I put <script language="javascript" src="jsfile/test.js"></script> in the <head> tag and call the function in <body> tag, <div id="moreUploads"></div> <div id="moreUploadsLink" style="display:none;"> <a href="javascript:addFileInput();">Upload another File</a> </div> ******************** When I click on the Upload another file link, nothing appear. It worked b4 I create separate js file. Pls help me solving this problem and gimme suggestions. Thanks in advance! PY Dear friend , I am uploading text file on html page , that text file lies on desktop and getting updated at every hour . I will keep my html page on server so how will it upload that text file from my desktop ? it is being generated by one cloud sensor . So, this is my last problem. If I can nail this, then the website will be completely AJAX driven, and will be spectacular. It took me a while to figure out just how to ask the question. lol Now it is really simple. 1) When I hit the button, in the simplified example below, the website sends a code to the server. 2) The server then re-writes the "xyz.js" JavaScript file with a new array of values. Is there any way to re-retrieve that JavaScript file, from the server to make it the current "xyz.js" rather than the old one that loaded on the client originally. I can get a new XML data file and re-submit that to the website, but how do I re-retrieve the new JavaScript code? Code: <html> <head> <script src="xyz.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <button onclick="onload();">Change</button> </body> </html> I am wanting to setup a dependant drop down where when a user clicks on the first drop down, it changes the contents of the second. The way I intend to do this is via a csv file. I have found several scripts but I have been unable to get them to work. Two of which a http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...3114347AA7GYJ7 http://purbayubudi.wordpress.com/200...ng-javascript/ The first is the better option from what I can see. but the problem is readyState seems to be always 1. I am wondering if someone could perhaps give me a few moments to see if I can get this to work or suggest a better solution. I don't want to use a database approach, at least not yet. I'm attempting to pull the hidden iframe file upload trick using javascript. I've go my form file upload and iframe fine, but I can't figure out what to do when it gets server side. There seems to be relatively no documentation on how to handle uploaded files in server-side javascript. Ideas? I'm at a loss.
well i'm kind of new to this website and scripting with javascript but i am wondering: in a client side .js file i have some coding which results in a string which is stored in a variable called exportData now i want that string to be written into a text file on a server but how do i do that? it is not local on the client's pc and i can't find how to do it anywhere... can you guys help me? greetings, Fady Hello, Is there a way using javascript to have it check if a file exists on the server? I'm trying to check for a file on my server without having to refresh the open webpage. If this can't be done with javascript, do you know which webpage languange can execute this? Thanks Hi there, I have a photo editing business with many people working in Photoshop. I am currently developing a web based application (joblist) using Javascript and PHP which should allow the photoshop designers to browse and open files/images directly from joblist/web browser into photoshop. The reason I want this instead of browsing folder is that I have a database where I store who worked on which file, when and how long it took. The concept is that, designers will select a file and click on start, as soon as they click on start the original file will open in Photoshop and there will be an entry into database (using PHP). Once they finish the task they will close the file and click on Finish button. My joblist application will be published in a local server and the file will be open on a local network, so when they save the file it will be saved where the source file is located in (local server). The application should work in both PC and Mac. Anybody can help me to write the code (PHP or Javascript) which can open the file from browser (local server) directly into desktop application e.g. PHotoshop or Illustrator? Thank you very much I look forward to someone's real help!

it is said that the 'form' node can be accessed by document.forms.certainName but it fails on my browser(IE8) however for images, it works, that is, document.images.certainName returns a Node. is there bugs only on 'form' tag? btw, document.forms[0] works ... quite quirky... hi, i want to make an ftp access page using javascript i know it's possible using "ftp://" , but when i use this, the browser loads a window with the ftp folder i want a javascript to get ftp access and to give the commands itself any1 who knows how to get ftp access and ability to give file send/receive/... commands with javascript? Hi this is what I want to do. I have an online store and a need get fixed the machines from where my clients use my web site. what I'm doing right now is using an activeX to retrieve theirs OS code, HD serial number and other stuff and is working fine but since I'm using an ActiveX they are forced to use Internet Explorer and that's the big problem. my clients agree for me doing this check on their computers, actually they allow the activex to run, but they are requesting the posibility of using for example mozilla. thanks in advance and sorry about my english I'm just learning Sup gents. Excuse my tenaciously novice questions, but dont disparage just yet, im beginning to grasp how the mechanism behind the code words, in due part to your helpful suggestions Im in the last stages of the code. In this section i have added three methods, whose function is to direct access control over the ciphers i will be adding shortly. I firstly need for the methods to be working. What they do is, categorize the set of values inside the first array and give a set of names privileges. The three methods that deal with the access control are link(), secondgroup() and third group. Ive assigned that the first three names( link() ) can access all the ciphers, ie administrators, the next three names ( secondgroup() ) can only access the shift, permutation and vigenere ciphers and the rest ( thirdgroup() ) can access the other remaining ciphers. But ive added so much code at once that i overwhelmed myself and i now i cant figure out where ive gone wrong, be it in the syntax or the logic Code: <html>
