I have tried searching solution to my problem with JQuery AJAX with XML document. I am trying to access XML document from the Library of Congress. The URL is:
http://z3950.loc.gov:7090/voyager?version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&startRecord=1&maximumRecords=1&recordSchema=marcxml&query=9780020419808"; I typed the url in the browser address on Safari and Firefox. The XML document was received as expected. Through JQuery AJAX the XML document was never received. I wonder whether Library of Congress could tell difference between AJAX and browser requests. What's wrong with my code? <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type"content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Request Library Catalog</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $('#update-target a').click(function(){ $.ajax({ type:"GET", url:"http://z3950.loc.gov:7090/voyager? version=1.1&operation=searchRetrieve&startRecord=1&maximumRecords=1&recordSchema=marcxml&query=9780020419808", dataType:"xml", success:function(xml){ alert("XML arrived."); $("version",xml).each(function(){ var id_text=$(this).text(); $('<li></li>') .html('version ('+id_text+')') .appendTo('#update-target ol'); }); //close each( } }); //close $.ajax( }); //close click( }); //close $( </script> </head><body> <div id='update-target'> <a href="">Click here to load library catalog</a> <ol></ol> </div> </body></html> Thanks for your great help in advance!
