I have the following XML-
<rows>
<row id="5">
<cell>Item1</cell>
<attrs>
<attr>
<id>1</id>
<type>CheckBox</type>
<values>
<value>
<id>10</id>
</value>
<value>
<id>11</id>
</value>
</values>
</attr>
<attr>
<id>2</id>
<type>CheckBox</type>
<values>
<value>
<id>20</id>
</value>
<value>
<id>21</id>
</value>
</values>
</attr>
</attrs>
</row>
</rows>
What I want to do is to loop each of the of a certain row.
I tried to do this in order to get all of the attr ids but I also got the values ids.
function fillForm(id){
var theRow = $(theXmlDoc).find('row[id='+id+']').get()
$(theRow).find("attr").each(function(i)
{
alert($(this).find("id").text());
});
}
I also would like to note that main goal is loop each attr and afterwards to loop each value while I have the attr's id.
P.S if you think of an easier/simpler way to do so with some other library I'm open for suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
I'm not clear what you're trying to loop over, I think one of the tags in your question was garbled. You say: "What I want to do is to loop each of the of a certain row." and I think you had a tag in there.
Anyway, here's some examples of extracting data from the parsed xml document using jQuery. The comments show what will be alerted.
I think part of the problem is you have the id values as siblings rather than children to the attributes. It seems like a more coherent structure might be:
<rows>
<row id="5">
<cell>Item1</cell>
<attrs>
<attr id="1">
<type>CheckBox</type>
<values>
<value>
<id>10</id>
</value>
<value>
<id>11</id>
</value>
</values>
</attr>
<attr id="2">
<type>CheckBox</type>
<values>
<value>
<id>20</id>
</value>
<value>
<id>21</id>
</value>
</values>
</attr>
</attrs>
</row>
</rows>
But if you don't have control over the xml, please ignore that suggestion. :-)
Okay, here are some samples of traversal to get various pieces of data:
First let's just get "Item1"
<script type="text/javascript">
// Item1
$.get('sample.xml', null, function (data, textStatus) {
alert( $(data).find('rows row[id=5] cell').text());
}, 'xml');
</script>
Now we'll get the 1 and the 2:
<script type="text/javascript">
// 1
// 2
$.get('sample.xml', null, function (data, textStatus) {
$(data).find('rows row[id=5] attrs attr > id').each( function(){
alert($(this).text()); // 1, 2
});
}, 'xml');
</script>
And lastly, let's pull out the main attr ids and tie them into the values:
<script type="text/javascript">
// rows row[id=5] attrs attr > id 1 has inner ids of 10,11
// rows row[id=5] attrs attr > id 2 has inner ids of 20,21
$.get('sample.xml', null, function (data, textStatus) {
var out = ''
$(data).find('rows row[id=5] attrs attr > id').each( function(){
out += 'rows row[id=5] attrs attr > id ' + $(this).text();
var innerIds = [];
$(this).siblings('values').find('value id').each(function(){
innerIds.push($(this).text())
});
out += ' has inner Ids of ' + innerIds.join(',') + '\n';
});
alert(out);
}, 'xml');
</script>
This should work for you
function fillForm(id){
var row = $(theXmlDoc).find('row#+'+ id);
var ids = row.find( "attr > id");
ids.each(function(i)
{
alert($(this).text());
});
}
PS. You can use xpath either:
var ids = document.evaluate( '//rows/row[@id='+id + ']/attr/id/text( )', theXmlDoc, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null );
