Welcome to Bytes!

See this example. You can also load an XML file without using Ajax, e.g. see this link. If you don't understand something or you can't adapt it to your needs, come back and ask.

PS. please use code tags when posting code. Thanks!

Whether you have one record or many records, the code would be the same or similar. Show what you've tried.

This code I tried to get records from the xml file.
I have a textfield tf1. In that text I will enter a customer id and when I click on customer id , it has to check that textfield with the customerid tag in the customerinfo.xml file, if it matches it should display all the information of the customer else it should display alert message customerid not found.

I have two files customerinfo.xml file and customerinf.html

customerinfo.xml

So what's working and what's not working in your code?

Please use code tags when posting code. See How to Ask a Question.

With out this if condition in onResponse method, I am able to retrieve data from xml.

if(ff.tf1.value == y[0].firstChild.nodeValue)
{
alert("Strings are Equal");

}
else
{
alert("Strings are Not Equal");
}


But I want to retrieve based on the textfield value. Validaton I am unable to do it


Please can one give me the code for this.

First problem: the form should be in the body, so move the form opening tag to inside the body. Secondly, when referring to the form "ff", use document.forms["ff"] or document.ff, not just ff globally.

Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

Please use [code] tags in future.

In your if statement, return if it doesn't match:

  1. if (document.ff.tf1.value != y[0].firstChild.nodeValue) {
  2.     alert("Strings are not Equal");
  3.     return;

  5. // the strings are equal so output the xml file contents

The problem is that you're using a button element. Use an input button instead:
[html]<input type="button" ...>[/html]

When using Ajax, you don't leave the page, so there's no concept of returning back to the same page.

In your first post, you said the XML file name was "customer.xml". In your code, you have "customerinfo.xml" as the file name. Check to make sure which is correct.

I used everywhere customerinfo.xml only....

Please can you go through the code once again and check what is the error???

I am using Eclipse and Tomcat server.
Is there any plugin for Ajax for Eclipse????I don't have idea...Please let me know

In your XML file, there's no PHOTOS tag, but you're checking for that in the JavaScript code. This would cause errors. Remove those lines or add the tag to the XML file.

I'm not sure about Eclipse plugins.

I tested your code and it works fine.

Are you sure there's no errors? I type in 1111 and click on the button and the form is replaced with the details of the customer from the XML file.

If I put that profile tag the program doesnot work at all.....
I didn't modify the code. Just if I put that tag it doesnot work at all

Perhaps the reason is that the XML is invalid. I think the <name=public> syntax may be causing the problem.

Still I didn't understand what is that tag for??
Please can you tell me briefly..........
Why is it invalid?
But in my task they asked me to add this also

See some basic syntax rules. You probably want to use something like <name type="public">

Thanks for solving.....
Glad that's solved.

What is that profile tag actually for?///
You posted it! Ask the person who added it to the XML file(!) Seriously, though, I think profile just means the profile of that customer, which has a prefs tag to include their preferences.

In xml file can we have same name tag???
I have name tag in my xml file
and also I have in profile tag I also have another name tag...
Can you tell me what about rules of naming tags in xml???
For these XML questions, I suggest you start a new thread in the XML forum.
