Hi, I am relatively inexperienced in working with Xerces and I am having a little trouble getting across the finish line with my current problem. I am developing with the Xerces 1.6.0 distribution and my XML has the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE Catalog SYSTEM "http://mydomain.com/items.dtd";> <ItemList> <Item ID="id1"> <Itemfield Name="name1" Value="val1" /> <Itemfield Name="name2" Value="val2" /> <Itemfield Name="name3" Value="val3" /> </Item> <Item ID="id2"> <Itemfield Name="name1" Value="val1" /> <Itemfield Name="name2" Value="val2" /> <Itemfield Name="name3" Value="val3" /> </Item> </ItemList> I have a two part question: 1) The DOMParser::parser->parse() method is failing since it does not have access to the DTD file (note DTD is not local and I cannot retrieve it via http on the fly). Assuming I can't change the XML structure, can I tell the parser to ignore the DTD so I can continue to process the XML? 2) I remove the DTD line from the XML and I can parse it. I use getElementsByTagName("Item") to get a list of DOM_Nodes for each Item tag. I want to look for a particular Item ID and return the entire string (representing that node/tag) if the ID matches what I am looking for. However, I can't seem to find a method/property in the DOM_Node class to do this. To clarify, if I am looking for Item ID="id1", I want to return this string: <Item ID="id1"> <Itemfield Name="name1" Value="val1" /> <Itemfield Name="name2" Value="val2" /> <Itemfield Name="name3" Value="val3" /> </Item> I know this is an easy question but I just can't seem to get it working correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
