removing elements in namespace

Graham

Hi all,

I'm trying to clean up the output from Word that has been
pasted into a textarea. I'm purging much of the html (all
styles, attributes etc) and would also like to remove things
like vector graphics. To do this I want to simply drop all
elements (or their children) which are in any namespace other
than the default: all the microsoft-specific o:p, v:drawLine, etc
tags. But I can't persuade javascript to even see the namespaces!
I'm using IE5.5 (this needs to work on browsers that old, but no
older).

Has anyone done this before? Is there some simple step I might
be missing? Given an element variable, could you give me a line
or two of code just to display the namespace tag?

Thanks

Graham

With IE 5 and later on Win elements have two properties
scopeName
giving the prefix and
tagUrn
giving the Namespace URN for example

<html lang="en"
xmlns:gods="htt p://example.com/2004/09/gods">
<head>
<title>scopeNam e and tagUrn</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function testNamespacePr operties () {
var elements = document.body.a ll;
if (elements) {
var result = '';
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length ; i++) {
var element = elements[i];
result += 'tagName: ' + element.tagName + '; ';
result += 'scopeName: ' + element.scopeNa me + '; ';
result += 'tagUrn: ' + element.tagUrn;
result += '\r\n';
}
alert(result);
}
}

window.onload = function (evt) {
testNamespacePr operties();
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="p1">
This is a HTML paragraph.
</p>
<div>
<gods:GOD id="GOD">Kibo</gods:GOD>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Removing elements from std::vector.

by: Jason Heyes | last post by:

What is a good way of removing elements from std::vector so that the elements removed satisfy a predicate and end up stored in another std::vector. It seems as though the algorithm std::remove_if only achieves half the job. Here is how I would use std::remove_if to remove elements from std::vector based on predicate: v.erase(std::remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), pred), v.end()); After that line is executed I cannot get back the elements...

Finding/removing nodes with attribute value

Hi. I have a rather large xml document (object) that can have one or more nodes with a certain attribute throughout (at ANY depth, not at the same level necessarily). I need to find this attribute and remove the containing node (and child nodes) if it has a certain value. I'm able to find the attributes using an XmlTextReader. Once found, can someone help me get the XPath at that point? I would then use this to remove the node from...

Removing xmlns="" from XmlTextWriter output

Removing namespace declaration on a node

by: Manoj G | last post by:

Hello, I believe there is no way to remove the default namespace declaration (For eg <DataSet xmlns="something">.... ) on an XmlNode object directly through DOM. So, what is the best way to remove it 1) XSLT templates? 2) Copy all the contents into a new node and leave out the namespace? Use this node node in lieu of the old one?

removing elements invalidates only those iterators that had specifically pointed at the removed elements

by: Alien | last post by:

According to MSDN, removing elements invalidates only those iterators that had specifically pointed at the removed elements. But I tried following codes, and find that without the repeated it=map_.begin(); there will be memory violation. So, the iterator IS invalidated even if it's not the removed one. why? -----------

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
