Why does the following Java Script fail to load XML?
- by Pavitar
I have taken an example taught to us in class,wherein a javascript is used to retrieve data from the XML,but it doesn't work.Please help
I have also added the XML file below.
<html>
<head>
<title>Customer Info</title>
<script language="javascript">
var xmlDoc = 0;
var xmlObj = 0;
function loadCustomers(){
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = displayCustomers;
xmlDoc.load("customers.xml");
}
function displayCustomers(){
if(xmlDoc.readyState == 4){
xmlObj = xmlDoc.documentElement;
var len = xmlObj.childNodes.length;
for(i = 0; i < len; i++){
var nodeElement = xmlObj.childNodes[i];
document.write(nodeElement.attributes[0].value);
for(j = 0; j < nodeElement.childNodes.length; j++){
document.write(" " + nodeElement.childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue);
}
document.write("<br/>");
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Load XML" onClick="loadCustomers()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
XML(customers.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customers>
<customer custid="CU101">
<pwd>PW101</pwd>
<email>[email protected]</email>
</customer>
<customer custid="CU102">
<pwd>PW102</pwd>
<email>[email protected]</email>
</customer>
<customer custid="CU103">
