Access Xml Data Via Javascript

How can I get the value of my xml data using a javascript. Im accessing my xml file on my domain, and view it on the client side. my.xml &l

Solution 1:

Try adding a .item(0) or [0] between getElementsByTagName(...) and .nodeValue:

v += valThis.getElementsByTagName('getThis').item(0).nodeValue;

You'll need this as getElementsByTagName returns a NodeList (which can resemble an Array). The list won't have a nodeValue property itself, but the nodes within it should.

Solution 2:

I see you're using jQuery.

change

v += valThis.getElementsByTagName('getThis').nodeValue

to

v += $(valThis).find('getThis').text()

Solution 3:

See this example http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_parser.asp of an XML parser. But in reality you probably want to use a framework to load the XML and parse it. There is plenty of them out there, check microjs.com for the features that you are looking for.
