In jQuery I'm trying to select only mount nodes where a and b's text values are 64 and "test" accordingly. I'd also like to fallback to 32 if no 64 and "test" exist. What I'm seeing with
the code below though, is that
the 32 mount is being returned instead of
the 64.
The XML:
<thingses
<thing
<a32</a <-- note, a here is 32 and not 64 --
<other...</other
<mountsample 1</mount
<btest</b
</thing
<thing
<a64</a
<other...</other
<mountsample 2</mount
<btest</b
</thing
<thing
<a64</a
<other...</other
<mountsample 3</mount
<bunrelated</b
</thing
<thing
<a128</a
<other...</other
<mountsample 4</mount
<bunrelated</b
</thing
</thingses
And unfortunately I don't have control over
the XML as it comes from somewhere else.
What I'm doing now is:
var ret_val = '';
$data.find('thingses
thing').each(function(i, node) {
var $node = $(node), found_node = $node.find('b:first:is(test), a:first:is(64)').end().find('mount:first').text();
if(found_node) {
ret_val = found_node;
return;
}
found_node = $node.find('b:first:is(test), a:first:is(32)').end().find('mount:first').text();
if(found_node) {
ret_val = found_node;
return;
}
ret_val = 'not found';
});
// expected result is "sample 2", but if sample 2's parent "
thing" was missing,
the result would be "sample 1"
alert(ret_val);
For my ":is" selector I'm using:
if(jQuery){
jQuery.expr[":"].is = function(obj, index, meta, stack){
return (obj.textContent || obj.innerText || $(obj).text() || "").toLowerCase() == meta[3].toLowerCase();
};
}
There has to be a better way than how I'm doing it. I wish I could replace
the "," with "AND" or something. :)
Any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
