thx alot for your help. i've testing some code of my own and i'm
starting to understand this shit :) but i'm struggling with one more
thing. i can't get the script to return a DOM Node. i need it to do
so in order to be able to use certain properties and methods. it only
returns DOM Element, Dom Document and DOM Nodelist.
Here's the code i use. I've tried to catch the different outputs when
running different methods on the parseXML-result, but I can't seem to
get a Node as an output. this is the only thing i need to fix in
order to make this work perfectly.
i call the funstion loadFile with the dataBase.xml as argument
function loadFile (fileName) {
getURL(fileName, fileLoaded);
}
function fileLoaded (data) {
var msg = '';
if(data.success) {
XMLTree = parseXML(data.content);
XMLTree = XMLTree.documentElement;
XMLTree = XMLTree.getElementsByTagName
("products");
alert(XMLTree);
alert(XMLTree.length);
alert(printNode(XMLTree.item(0)));
} else {
msg = 'Loading has failed';
}
}
