        nwin.document.write("<form id='f1'><select id='s1'>")

        for(var i = 0; i <le; i++)

=============================
code(javascipt)

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
var xmlDoc;

function showerror(error)
{
ewin=open("","","");
ewin.document.open();
ewin.document.write("<b>XML parsing error</b><br><br>Error#: "+error.errorCode+"<br>Description: "+error.reason+"<br>In file: "+error.url+"<br>Line:$
ewin.document.close();
}

function y()
{
nwin=open("","","");
nwin.document.open();
var it=xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName("item");
var le=it.length;
nwin.document.write("<div id='inside'>sab</div>");
function fun()
{
nwin.document.write("<form id='f1'><select id='s1'>");
for(var i = 0; i <le; i++)
{
n = it.item(i);
nwin.document.write("<option value=\""+i+"\">"+n.childNodes[0].text+"</option>");

}
nwin.document.write("</select>");
var r=document.f1.s1.selectedIndex;
var ChosenTitle = document.f1.s1.options[r].text;
var outtext+="<b>"+ChosenTitle+"</b>"
document.getElementById("inside").innerHTML=outtex t;
}

nwin.document.write("<input type='button' value='get details' onClick='fun();'></form>");
nwin.document.close();
}
function x(file)
{

// code for IE
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load(file);
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0)
{
showerror(xmlDoc.parseError);
}
else
{
y();
}

}

// code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.
else if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
{
xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument(""," ",null);
//xmlDoc.load(file);
xmlDoc.async=false;
if(!xmlDoc.load(file))
{
alert('Error in XML file');
}
else
{
y();
}
}

else
{
alert('browser cannot handle this script');
}
xmlDoc.async=false;
}

</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1">
<b>Enter XML File </b><br>
<input type="text" value="" id="t1" size="100" maxlength="100"><br>
<input type="button" value="button" name="button1" onClick="x(t1.value);">
</form>
</body>
</html>[/HTML]

Why have you declared fun() inside y()?

The error could be more useful if you checked the Firefox error console or Firebug.

Show your XML code too.

hi,

here is an simple sort of main crux of my main progam if this works then I guess main program wil work .kindly check error in this:-

==========
code(javascript)
UW PICO(tm) 4.0 File: koh.html Modified

[HTML]<HTML>
<head>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">

function insertScript()
{
var c=document.getElementById("f1").s1.options[f1.s1.selectedIndex].text;
var sHTML="<table border='1'>"
sHTML=sHTML+"<tr><td>"+c+"</tr></td>"
sHTML=sHTML+"<tr><td>"+c+"</tr></td>"
sHTML=sHTML+"</table>"
document.getElementById("ScriptDiv").innerHTML =sHTML;
}

function k()
{
nwin=open("","","");
nwin.document.open();
nwin.document.write("<DIV ID='ScriptDiv'></DIV>");
nwin.document.write("<form id='f1'>");
nwin.document.write("<select id='s1'>");
nwin.document.write("<option value=1>one</option>");
nwin.document.write("<option value=2>two</option>");
nwin.document.write("</select>");
nwin.document.write("<input type='button' value='button' onclick='insertScript();'>");
nwin.document.write("</form>");
nwin.document.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="button" onclick="k();">
</form>
</body>
</HTML>[/HTML]

acoder

k() opens a new window and the button within the code calls insertScript(), but insertScript is in the parent page. Either write insertScript in the popup page or call window.opener.insertScript() instead.

if I use window.opener.insertscript new error comes in the line

document.getElementById("f1") has no properties
[Break on this error] var c=this.document.getElementById("f1").s1.options[f1.s1.selectedIndex]...

acoder

If you're going to use s1, then you have to name your select element "s1". Alternatively, just access the select element directly, e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var c = document.getElementById("s1").options[document.getElementById("s1").selectedIndex];

This code is still not working it has some problem with var c it says var c=document.form1.select1.options[document.form1.select1.selectedIndex].value;

has no properites.I think it cannot acess the selectedindex value from document. I am really confused with the function insertscript is in parent or child window.

Is your form named "form1" and your select element "select1"?

I have edited the code document.getElementById('ScriptDiv').innerHTML= sr();

acoder

What error do you get now?

Please use the proper code tags when posting code. To use code tags, use the # button. You can specify the language using =javascript in the opening code tag, e.g. [code=javascript].

I am not getting any error but the the value inside <div> codes is not changing on pressing the button in new window.

acoder

Change line 22 to:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 nwin.document.write("<input type='button' value='get details' onclick=\"document.getElementById('ScriptDiv').innerHTML = window.opener.sr();\" >");
 

Remember that sr() is in the parent page, so to access it, you need to use window.opener.

I had tried it ealier with window.opener.sr() but it was not displaying the value returned by the function.

I am getting crazy with this thing man this dummy code is taking so much time then how long will the origional code take.

Did you replace line 22 with the code that I posted earlier? You forgot the (escaped) quotes.

the sample code is runnign properly and the main program is also running fine but it has some problem. when i call this function it displays table with :-

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function sr(v)

{

         var n = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName("item").item(v);

          var disp="<table width='90%' bgcolor='pink' border='1'>"

         disp+="<tr><td>"+n.childNodes[3].text+"</tr></td>"

         disp+="<tr><td>"+n.childNodes[4].text+"</tr></td>"

         disp+="<tr><td><a href=\""+n.childNodes[1].text+"\">"+n.childNodeS[1].text+"</tr></td>"

         disp+="</table>"

         return disp;

}

but whrn I edit it with the following coe it shows up fourth row but with a undefined value:-

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function sr(v)

{

         var n = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName("item").item(v);

         var rm = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("description").item(v+1);

         var disp="<table width='90%' bgcolor='pink' border='1'>"

         disp+="<tr><td>"+n.childNodes[3].text+"</tr></td>"

         disp+="<tr><td>"+n.childNodes[4].text+"</tr></td>"

         disp+="<tr><td><a href=\""+n.childNodes[1].text+"\">"+n.childNodes[1].text+"</tr></td>"

         disp+="<tr><td>"+rm.text+"</td></tr>"

         disp+="</table>"

         return disp;

}

thanks;

This is usually caused by whitespace. You're assuming that the first child childNodes[0] is not a whitespace (IE ignores whitespace). See this link for more information.

I need to change the entire synatx i.e use code like if(nodeType!=1) or there is an shorter way.

Remove the whitespace in your XML.

Hey I am getting the code right in FF but IE shows some error when I add this line:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  disp+="<tr><td>Author</td><td>"+n.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://purl.org/

dc/elements/1.1/","creator")[0].firstChild.nodeValue+"</tr></td>"

IE says document does not support this property.

I don't think IE supports namespaces - you'll have to stick to getElementsByTagName only.
