Why won't the android browser won't load and/or display my XML data?

57 New Member

I'm trying to find out why the android browser won't load and/or display my XML data. This javascript works fine on computer browsers (FF, IE, Safari, Chrome, Opera) and even in iPhone's Safari, but when I view the same page in my android's browser, nothing is displayed...it' s just blank. Is it a javascript bug in the android browser?

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

  function loadXMLDoc(dname) {

    var xmlDoc;

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

      xmlDoc = new window.XMLHttpRequest();

      xmlDoc.open("GET",dname,false);

      xmlDoc.send("");

      return xmlDoc.responseXML;

    }

    // IE 5 and IE 6

    else if (ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")) {

      xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");

      xmlDoc.async=false;

      xmlDoc.load(dname);

      return xmlDoc;

    }

    alert("Error loading document");

    return null;

  }

</script>

</head>
 
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

  xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("news.xml");

  x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('article');

  for (i=0; i<x.length; i++) {

    document.write("<span class='h2'>" + x[i].getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</span><br />");

    document.write("<span class='gray'>" + x[i].getElementsByTagName("date")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</span><br /><br />");

    document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("text")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<hr />");

  }

</script>

</body>

</html>

I wasn't sure if this should be posted in "Mobile Development" or here in "Javascript/Ajax/DHTML" so here it is...but thanks anyway for any insight you may have!

Not having an android myself or ever having to develop specifically for it, I would say your best bet is to find some developer docs for the android and find out what it supports and what it doesn't support and then go from there.

javascript in browser

by: Alex Lee | last post by:

Hi, Does anyone know if its possible to tweak a browser (i.e firefox) on how it handles javascript. example: a java script turns something red (lets say the scroll bar) - feeds it to the browser - but the browser has been modify to execute a "red" attribute as blue - thus even when the script says to turn it red, it still outputs as blue! Thanks in advance.

Diff between the window created by JavaScript and Browser GUI

by: KC | last post by:

Hi, Every JavaScript executive context has a top-level window and we can use window.open() to open another window ... Does this related to Windows created by click on "File"->"New Window" or "File" -"New Tab" in browser's menu bar ? I think window created by "File"->"New Window" and "File"->"New Tab" are independent to each other from JavaScript's point of view. Is this correct ?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
