Hi,
I've been trying to figure out how to work with XML in jQuery for the most
part of today as here is what I wanted to accomplish:
1) read in an xml file and convert it to a workable object
2) modify the xml (do adds, removes, and changes to the xml object)
3) convert the xml object back to a string and export it
I've managed to do 1 and 3 (with the help of serializeXML), but I cannot
seem to do number 2 (add elements into the xml). I can traverse the xml
object and pull data out. For example:
XML
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<pages>
<page name="Page Name" id="p00001">something</page>
<page name="SomeName" id="p00001">something</page>
</pages>
Code
alert($(jData).find("pages").children().attr("id")); //prints out "p00001"
fine
$(jData).find("pages").children().insertAfter('<page name="Page Name"
id="p00001">something</page>'); // does not add elements into the xml, but
clears the xml file
I've tried append(), before(), insertAfter() and they all do not work. My
problem is that I want to add nodes, remove nodes, change node values and
attributes, and I just can't seem to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jakub
