Am trying to read in data from an xml file but using javascript which is embedded into my asp.net|vb code. I am new to asp.net but coming from a programming background.
so I declared the xml objects for the appropriate browsers, as
well as the name of the local xml to read data from,
I then start by appending the create the table tag and then
append it to the div tag in hack5.aspx
I declare the variable that will represent/ hold the xml
returned data object.
I then run a for loop , before creating a row tag and then
appending it to the div tag in hack5.aspx
I then create the a row tag and then appending it to the div
tag in hack5.aspx
| then create a TextNode which is passed to variable, then
create a td and append to div . then lastly append the textnode to td
this format is the same for creating another 13 td tags that are to
hold the data.
The main problem is when I run the script - I see nothing display on
my screen . no errors are shown, but with your sample code runs
smoothly.
So the first file hack5.aspx is as follows:
<%@ Page Language="
VB"
AutoEventWireup="false"
CodeFile="hack5.aspx.
vb"
Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="showtime" >
</div>
</form> </body> </html>
The next file hack5.aspx.
vb is as follows:
