XML/XSL: Help with JavaScript please

**DJ_Catboy** · Jul 21st, 2003, 06:41 AM

Hi,

I have an XML file that I need to translate into a different format. To be clear, I have a field that has carriage returns embedded that is one field - I need to split this into several fields. Example:

Source
=====
<text>
line 1(invisible CR/LF)
line 2(invisible CR/LF)
line 3
</text>

Required Target
===========
<text>line1</text>
<text>line2</text>
<text>line3</text>

The only way that I can think to achieve this is to use JavaScript in my XSL transformation. Can anybody supply an example of this or has anybody else come across this problem?

Would be very grateful for some assistance.

Thanks in advance,
DJ

There is not allot of examples for coding javascript/xml
I know this is a lot of code... but here is an example from a site I put together. This may or may not help.

Code:

<html>
<head>

<script language="JavaScript" for="window" event="onload">

/* ----------------------------------------
   Brandon Petty's JavaScript/XML Calander
   Note:  This project is under heavey
          construction!  Coders welcome!
   ---------------------------------------- */

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load("Calander.xml")
var oMonth = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Month")

document.write("<html><head><title>Cerner Explorer Calander</title></head>")
document.write("<body bgcolor='white'>")
document.write("<a href='./index.php'><b><< Home</b></a> <br><br>")

for (i=0; i <= oMonth.length - 1; i++)
{
	document.write("<hr align='left' width='250px'>Month: " + oMonth(i).getAttribute("Name"))

		for (x=0; x <= oMonth(i).childNodes.length - 1; x++)
		{
			document.write("<hr align='left' width='45px'>")

				for (z=0; z <= oMonth(i).childNodes.item(x).childNodes.length - 1; z++)
				{
					if (z == 0)
						document.write("Date: " + oMonth(i).childNodes.item(x).childNodes.item(z).text + " <br> ")
					else
						document.write("Description: " + oMonth(i).childNodes.item(x).childNodes.item(z).text + " <br> ")
				}
		}
}

document.write("<hr align='left' width='250px'>")
document.write("</body></html>")

</script>

<title>Explorer Calander</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="pink">
  <center>If you are seeing this... contact us or update your browser</center>
</body>
</html>

Here is an example of the XML

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1" ?> 
<Calander>
	<Month Name="January">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="Febuary">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="March">
		<Date>
			<Day>15</Day>
			<Content>Krysta's Birthday</Content>
		</Date>
	</Month>

	<Month Name="April">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="May">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="June">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="July">
		<Date>
			<Day>14</Day>
			<Content>Brandon's Birthday</Content>
		</Date>
	</Month>

	<Month Name="August">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="September">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="October">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="November">
	</Month>

	<Month Name="December">
	</Month>
</Calander>

again.. this might not help you... but it teaches you the basics for working xml with javascript
