JavaScript - Xml Parsing Questions

I have been able to parse a JSON feed before but forwhatever reason this time around I am having a hell of a time getting it working. Here is where I am at right now. So far the script dosn't output anything.

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">

  <script>
    xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhttp.open("GET","http://biz104.inmotionhosting.com/~cox7co5/api/get_category_posts/?id=5",false);
    xhttp.send("");
    json_data=xhttp.responseText; 
    var parsed_data = eval('('+json_data+')');
	var slug="stuff"
	for (i=0;i<parsed_data.count;i++) {
      document.write("<tr><td><a href=\"#\" class=\"showlist\">"+parsed_data.posts[i].title+"</a></td><tr>");
    }
</script>   
</table>

Hello everybody,

I am currently working on displaying KML-values of ElementTags within my KML File. I already integrated the KML file as an overlay to my Google Map. But how am I able to parse the GGeoXml-object or how am I able to parse external ("http://www.myexample.org/polygons.kml" instead of just "polygons.kml") XML-files?

At the moment my code for loading the geoxml file looks like this:

Code:

function initialize(kmlFile) {
      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
        map.setUIToDefault();
        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(53.763325,-2.579041), 9);
             // ==== Create a KML Overlay ====
      if(!(kmlFile==null)){
          //check if it doesnt start with "http://"
        if(!(kmlFile.startsWith("http://"))){
        kmlFile = "http://" + kmlFile;
        $('kmllink').value = kmlFile;
        }
        var kml = new GGeoXml(kmlFile);
        //add Overlay to the googlemaps window
        map.addOverlay(kml);
        //$('subject').value = "SUBJECT";
        //$('content').value = "CONTENT";
        kml.gotoDefaultViewport(map);
        // Store center and zoom as properties of the object kml
        var centerKML= kml.getDefaultCenter();
        var zoomKML = map.getZoom();
        map.panTo(centerKML);
        map.setZoom(zoomKML);
        }
        
      }
      
}

And for parsing local XML-files this code works already:
Code:

function loadXML()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else // Internet Explorer 5/6
  {
  xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
    xhttp.open("GET","test.kml",false);
    xhttp.send("");
    //xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML;
    xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML;
    var placemark=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Placemark");
    alert(placemark[0].getElementsByTagName("name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
    ajaxLoader("http://www.zki.dlr.de/mod/ext/fireModis/yesterday_en.kml","Placemark");
}

My question: Is there any way to integrate parsing external xml files in any of these two functions?

Best regards,

This is an example of an email:

REGION: CICSPSC1
PROGRAM: SCC23COB
ABEND CODE: ASRA
TRANSACTION: CORM
DATE: 02/25/2010
TIME: 08:20:06

This javascript code is capable of parsing this email and return the information in the TRANSACTION:

Code:

 
var strReplace = email.body_text;
strReplace = strReplace.replace(/\n/g,"");
strReplace = strReplace.replace(/^REGION:\s+\w+\d+PROGRAM:\s+\w+\d+\w+/i,"");
strReplace = strReplace.replace(/^\s+CODE:\s+\w+TRANSACTION:\s+/i,"");
strReplace = strReplace.replace(/DATE.*$/i,"");
gs.log(strReplace);

So at the moment I am trying to parse this email information (below) and return the HOST: field data. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: ka-whsym-r8
State: DOWN
Address: 10.2.1.194
Info: PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

Hello, I am trying to assign a variable using a form value, but it returns as undefined. However, if I directly set em (uncomment them), it works.

Why are my values not working?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
   //lichbloom = 2;
   //frostlotus = 5;
   lichbloom = document.endlessragevalue.lichbloom.value;
   frostlotus = document.endlessragevalue.frostlotus.value;
   var endlessrage = lichbloom+frostlotus;
</script>

<form name="endlessragevalue" id="endlessragevalue">
	Lichbloom <input type="text" size="20" name="lichbloom" value="2" /><br />
	Frost Lotus <input type="text" size="20" name="frostlotus" value="5" /><br />
	<script type="text/javascript">document.write(endlessrage);</script>
</form>

thanks for looking!

Hello,

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.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I wanted to parse (split) a string between numbers, operators and words.
I can get 2 out of 3 of my desires using this...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Token Parser </title>
</head>
<body>
<pre id="debug"></pre>

<script type="text/javascript">
function splitInfix(str) {
  var tarr = str.match(/[\d*|\S*]/g);
  return tarr.join(' ');
}

var str = '', tokens = '';
str = '1+2+3';  tokens = splitInfix(str);
   document.getElementById('debug').innerHTML = str + '<br>' + tokens + '<br>Spaces correctly<p>';  // OK
str = '1+2^3*(4-3)';  tokens = splitInfix(str);
  document.getElementById('debug').innerHTML += str + '<br>' + tokens + '<br>Spaces correctly<p>';  // OK
str = tokens;  tokens = splitInfix(str); 
  document.getElementById('debug').innerHTML += str + '<br>' + tokens + '<br>Spaces correctly<p>';  // OK
str = '1+2^3*sin(4-3)';  tokens = splitInfix(str);
  document.getElementById('debug').innerHTML += str + '<br>' + tokens + '<br>Spaces sin wrong<p>';  // NFG
str = 'cos(180)+sin(90)'; tokens = splitInfix(str);
  document.getElementById('debug').innerHTML += str + '<br>' + tokens + '<br>Spaces cos & sin wrong<p>';  // NFG

</script>

</body>
</html>

The OK examples appear to accomplish what I want,
but the Not Fully Good (NFG) examples put spaces between the words as well, which I don't want.

Is there something I can add to the function to make the output appear as words cos & sin instead of c o s & s i n ?
Or is there another function I can use to combine only the characters [a-z] and [A-Z] into whole words while leaving the spaces as is for the other characters and numbers?

Thanks for any thoughts on the matter.

I'm developing a DHTML based Flashcard app that will work using firefox (MiniMo on Mobile Devices). It's working fine (reads and writes datafile to and from the local disk). However, when i start reviewing the flashcards, it seems to have some parsing issues.
Do explain more about the data file, it is a 3 record CSV file with 3 catagories:

ChineseCharacter, PinYin, English

For some reason or another, i can figure out how to correctly pars out and put the correct data in the corresponding Data Arrays.

I would like to get this program working as soon as i can, i plan to use it to study for the HSK test (Chinese proficiency test). I'm supposed to take it in about 4 months. - yes im cramming

Hello All,

I have a form where I ask my users for a comma seperated web site list.
I want to make sure this list only contains the host names of URLs without any white spaces

Original list: site1.com, http://site2.com, http://www.site3.com,sub.site4.com
Edited list: site1.com,site2.com,site3.com,sub.site4.com

Currently I have the following to get the comma separated list

Code:

var list = document.getElementById( "list" ).value ;

Can some one please help me with above task
I highly appreciate your help or direction.

Hi, I'm trying to write a little Javascript that would parse a CSV file that contains a name and date, and only display the name if the date matches today. Here's some example data:

Name, Date
Joe, 6/10/2010
Jane, 7/11/2010

If today were 6/10/2010, the output of the script would just be "Joe"

Can anybody help? Thanks!

Hi all,

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

<presence id="12345"> 
	<status>in a meeting</status> 
	<priority>1</priority> 
</presence> 
<x>
	<picture>blahblah</picture>
</x>
<x>
       <hash>string</hash>
</x>

I need javascript to pull the status from this file. Here's what I have for that:
Code:

<span id="login_status"></span>
<span id="secondlogin_status"></span>

<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","https://www/user1.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
document.getElementById("login_status").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("status")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
document.getElementById("priority").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("priority")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;


xmlhttp.open("GET","https://www/user2.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
document.getElementById("secondlogin_status").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("status")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
document.getElementById("second_priority").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("priority")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
</script>

Here's my problem: If my xml file only has the one "parent" (meaning:
Code:

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

)
this works WONDERFULLY. However, when the second and third "parents" are added (<x>), the script returns blank output in the spans.

I feel almost certain my issue is related to this:

but I've tried to switch that around but it doesn't seem to provide any different results.



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).

Hello,

I need some help! I have some code that has a comments box and 2 radio buttons that ask if you want to be contacted about your comments. If you select "Yes", you get another set of radio buttons that ask you to choose a method of contact. When you choose a method, that selected methods value is parsed to the top of the textarea field, placing the comment below. I pretty much have it working, however, if I enter a comment in the "Comments" field, select "Yes", then select "email" and change to "Phone Morning", it concatnates the values in the textarea box instead of replacing the contact method value while still retaining the comment entered below.

Also, if at all possible, I wanted to clear only the contact method value out of the textarea field and leave only the comment when you go back and click the "No" radio button.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type='text/javascript'>

function showContactType(obj){
		if(document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.contact[1].checked == true){
			document.getElementById("contactType").style.display = 'inline';
		}else if(document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.contact[0].checked == true){
			for(i=0;i<document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.contactType.length;i++){
				document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.contactType[i].checked = false;
			}	
			document.getElementById("contactType").style.display = 'none';
		}
	}
function printContactType(src)
{
	if(src.checked)
		document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.customerMessage.value = src.value + "\n" + "------------------------" + "\n\n" + document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.customerMessage.value;
		document.storeCodeFeedbackForm.customerMessage.focus();
}
</script>

      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td> Would you like to be contacted about your comments? <span style="color:#990000; font-weight:normal">*</span>
        <input type="radio" name="contact" value="no" onclick="showContactType(this);disableField(this);">

        <input type="radio" name="contact" value="yes" onclick="showContactType(this)">

    </tr>
    <tr>

              Phone Morning
              <input type="radio" name="contactType" value="Contact me by: phone in the afternoon" onClick='printContactType(this);'>
              Phone Afternoon
              <input type="radio" name="contactType" value="Contact me by: phone in the evening" onClick='printContactType(this);'>
              Phone Evening</td>
          </tr>
        </table></td>

So there is this string i need to parse as xml:
Code:

<station><code>GB0923A</code><city>ABERDEEN</city><population>215.000</population><component><name>Nitrogen dioxide (air)</name><unit>_micro;g/m3</unit></component><component><name>Nitrogen oxides (air)</name><unit>_micro;g NO2/m3</unit></component></station>

Now what I do is:
-use this function to create xml doc from string
Code:

function stringToXML(text){
if (window.DOMParser)
{
   parser=new DOMParser();
   xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(text,"text/xml");
}
else // Internet Explorer
{
  xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
  xmlDoc.async="false";
  xmlDoc.loadXML(text);
} 
return xmlDoc;
}

-display it in that if statement:
Code:

if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
        var response= xmlhttp.responseText;
	xmlDoc= stringToXML(response);
	var text="";
	text= text+ xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("city")[0].nodeValue + "<br/>";
	text= text+ xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("code")[0].nodeValue + "<br/>";
	text= text+ xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("population")[0].nodeValue + "<br/>";
	document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = text;
	document.getElementById("loading").style.display = "none";
}

the stirng shown at the beggining is passed to "response" (var response= xmlhttp.responseText.
Now for some reason all 3 values displayed are null...
I am trying to figure why for last 2hrs but i cnt see any reason why they shouldnt be the actual values of nodes in the string...
Any help would be appreciated.

The rssdisplayer.js code works well enough, however, clicking on the generated rss news link updates the current html page with the feed. Not a good idea since I don't want people leaving my website.

So, the script that builds the href link looks like this:
var itemtitle="<a href=\"" + thefeeds[i].link + "\">" + thefeeds[i].title + "</a>"

I want to add target="_blank" for obvious reasons.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
