XML DOM Javascript

[koolalfdev]

Hi All,

I am trying to access a avm node which is a xml document and I want to get the contents of the xml in JavaScript like I can do with document.xmlNodeModel in .ftl files. I was wondering if I can do it in javascript as well. I looked at contents in the avm node it did not show the xmlNodeModel reference for that avm node.

Thanks

If you can grab the content of the node then yes, you can process it as XML in JavaScript; Rhino 1.6 and later has built-in support for E4X. For example, you can do something like this in your JavaScript:

var xml = new XML('<your XML string>');

Here's a link to a basic tutorial if you are not familiar with E4X: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guiderocessing_XML_with_E4X

Thanks for the response but in the xml to get xml in javascript
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> this line posses an error.

Right now I am manipulating the string with javascript code.

how to get rid of this line.

Thanks.

The simplest way is to use substring:

var xmlstr = '<your xml string>';
var header = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
xmlstr = xmlstr.substring(header.length);
var xml = new XML(xmlstr);
