I created a little test program to run the XML through a parser and mine worked which was a bit mystifying until I figured out what the problem is. getWeatherXmlForZipCode: is a class method. You have set the delegate to the class not to an object of the class. On 5 Jan 2010, at 15:58, Eric E.

I attach my little test program for completeness and the output. There's no error checking or anything that would make it production quality. ---- #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @interface MyParser : NSObject <NSXMLParserDelegate> { } -(void) parse: (NSString*) urlString; @end @implementation MyParser -(void) parse: (NSString*) urlString { NSURL* url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: urlString]; NSXMLParser* parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: url]; [url release]; [parser setDelegate: self]; [parser setShouldProcessNamespaces: YES]; [parser setShouldReportNamespacePrefixes:YES]; [parser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:YES]; [parser parse]; [parser release]; } -(void) parser: (NSXMLParser *) parser didStartElement: (NSString*) elementName namespaceURI: (NSString*) namespaceURI qualifiedName: (NSString*) qualifiedName attributes: (NSDictionary*) attributeDict { NSLog(@"element %@, ns %@, qn %@", elementName, namespaceURI, qualifiedName); } @end int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; MyParser* parser = [[MyParser alloc] init]; [parser parse: @"http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=01701";]; [parser release]; [pool drain]; return 0; } ---- 2010-01-06 14:46:49.410 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element rss, ns , qn rss 2010-01-06 14:46:49.412 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element channel, ns , qn channel 2010-01-06 14:46:49.412 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element title, ns , qn title 2010-01-06 14:46:49.412 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element link, ns , qn link 2010-01-06 14:46:49.412 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element description, ns , qn description 2010-01-06 14:46:49.413 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element language, ns , qn language 2010-01-06 14:46:49.413 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element lastBuildDate, ns , qn lastBuildDate 2010-01-06 14:46:49.413 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element ttl, ns , qn ttl 2010-01-06 14:46:49.413 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element location, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:location 2010-01-06 14:46:49.414 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element units, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:units 2010-01-06 14:46:49.414 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element wind, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:wind 2010-01-06 14:46:49.414 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element atmosphere, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:atmosphere 2010-01-06 14:46:49.414 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element astronomy, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:astronomy 2010-01-06 14:46:49.414 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element image, ns , qn image 2010-01-06 14:46:49.415 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element title, ns , qn title 2010-01-06 14:46:49.415 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element width, ns , qn width 2010-01-06 14:46:49.415 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element height, ns , qn height 2010-01-06 14:46:49.415 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element link, ns , qn link 2010-01-06 14:46:49.415 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element url, ns , qn url 2010-01-06 14:46:49.415 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element item, ns , qn item 2010-01-06 14:46:49.416 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element title, ns , qn title 2010-01-06 14:46:49.416 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element lat, ns http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#, qn geo:lat 2010-01-06 14:46:49.416 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element long, ns http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#, qn geo:long 2010-01-06 14:46:49.417 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element link, ns , qn link 2010-01-06 14:46:49.417 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element pubDate, ns , qn pubDate 2010-01-06 14:46:49.417 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element condition, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:condition 2010-01-06 14:46:49.417 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element description, ns , qn description 2010-01-06 14:46:49.418 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element forecast, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:forecast 2010-01-06 14:46:49.418 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element forecast, ns http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0, qn yweather:forecast 2010-01-06 14:46:49.418 TestNSXMLParser[17401:a0f] element guid, ns , qn guid ----_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
