I've been working on something that deals with handling a user's
selection within the DOM and I'm tripping up on one last, but crucial,
detail.
Forgive me for the length of the code, but my question is pretty
straightforward and my brain hasn't been working.
Problem: The way I'm iterating through the nodes doesn't allow me to
preserve the node hierarchy.
Instead of:
<div></div><b></b>text
I want:
<div><b>text</b></div>
function RangeIterator() {
this.onNode = function (str, node) {
commonplaceLogM ain.cplNodes += '<' + node.nodeName + '>' + str + '</'
+ node.nodeName + '>' ;
};
this.iterate = function (r) {
var me = this, node = r.startContaine r, offset = r.startOffset,
finalNode = r.endContainer, finalOffset = r.endOffset;
function visitNode(node, offset) {
var isFinal = (node == finalNode), lastChildIndex, i, c, str = '';
switch (node.nodeType) {
case 3:
case 4:
case 7:
case 8:
str = node.nodeValue;
if (isFinal) {
str = str.substring(0 , finalOffset);
}
if (offset) {
str = str.substring(o ffset);
}
me.onNode(str, node);
break;
default:
me.onNode(str, node);
lastChildIndex = isFinal ? finalOffset : node.childNodes .length;
for (i = offset, c = node.childNodes .item(i); i < lastChildIndex; c =
c.nextSibling, i++) {
if (!visitNode(c, 0)) {
return false;
}
}
}
return !isFinal;
}
while (visitNode(node , offset)) {
if (!node.nextSibl ing) {
node = node.parentNode ;
offset = node.childNodes .length;
} else {
node = node.nextSiblin g;
offset = 0;
}
}
return true;
};
} 4  2356

Let's say you keep up with your 'opening tags' in a string called
startTags
You could also create a string to keep up with the closing tags called
endTags
endTags = '';
You could have a little function like:
function makeEndTags(tag ){
endTags = tag + endTags;
}
Then when you come to a tag, like "<body>", you could do
makeEndTags('</body>')
Then say the next 'tag' is '<div>' do makeEndTags('</div>')
then if the next is '<p>' do makeEndTags('</p>')
so that you construct a string in endTags that looks like this
</p></div></body>
So at the end you print
startTags + endTags and you get
<body><div><p ></p></div></body>
And just insert whatever formatting you like in the two strings as you
go.

I started out with something very similiar to what you pointed out,
but that solution breaks down once you get to something like this:
<div><b></b></div><div><b></b></div>
When is it the right time to add those end tags? Here's a copy of an
approach that I tried but never finished up:
// TESTING
var allowed_html = new Array('b', 'u', 'i', 'h1', 'h2',
'h3', 'h4', 'code', 'pre', 'a', 'li', 'p', 'br');
var parentNode = node.parentNode ;
var open_tags = new Array();
while (parentNode) {
if (in_array(allow ed_html, parentNode)) {
if (in_array(open_ tags, parentNode) == false)
{
//close old tag
commonplaceLogM ain.cplNodes += '</' +
parentNode.node Name.toLowerCas e() + '';
break;
}
if (in_array(open_ tags, parentNode)) {
//open new tag
commonplaceLogM ain.cplNodes += '<' +
parentNode.node Name.toLowerCas e() + '';
break;
}
}
parentNode = parentNode.pare ntNode;
}
function in_array (array, value) {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
if (array[i] == value) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

}
}
return false;
}
When looking at my example I found a logic error. It does not traverse
back up the tree like it should. Anyway, I thought of the solution but
have not had time try it.
Create an array for the end tags 'stack = []'. When going down the
tree, push the end tags onto the array.
stack.push('</' + node.nodeName + '>');
anytime you move to node.nextSiblin g or node.parentNode do stack.pop()
and add that to the string.
This way it should only add the end tags at the right time.

matth,
I don't know if you ever found a solution to this, but it was a pretty
good problem.
No doubt one that was already solved a thousand times, but hey, what
is time for anyway, right? :)
So I finally got a chance to try my use of a stack to track the end
tags and insert them at the right time and I think it works. http://polisick.com/domTraverseExample.html

Hi
my question is on traversing a tree with DOM. how would I be able to
traverse 2 trees at the same time. I have 2 XML documents, with similar
nodes. I would like to traverse 1 xml document, if I found a node that
matches another node in the other document, I would like to update attributes
in the other document. I know you can recursive traverse a document, my
problem is to traverse 2 document at the same time,
thanks

I would like to remember the state of the nodes after the treeview gets
disposed, but not necessarily after the app terminates so I don't need a disk
file. I was thinking about using the tag property, but I am already using it,
so then I though about making a custom treeiew using inheritance and adding
another tag type property? Any clues?

Hi,
I am new to link list programming.I need to traverse from the end of

is to traverse from the end to 5th node

Good Day, folks!
I'm having a problem traversing an XmlDocument tree in C#. I only want
to access the InnerText of the leafs and the names of their ancestors
and show them in a richTextBox. But if I go like this I get the
InnerText of all the nodes and the outcome in my richTextBox is just a
mess.
The XML files i want to handle here have about 2300 nodes, so that
accessing some nodes directly is just impossible.
