So I created a temporary xml sheet just to test something:
<data>
<data_id id="5310482"/>
</data>
501 function initialize() {
502 if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
503 GDownloadUrl("../output/search/
temp.xml", function(data) {
504 var xml = GXml.parse(data);
505 var dataId =
xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("data_id");
506 alert(parseInt(dataId
[0].getAttribute("id")));
and that works - I get a value.
But it would be stupid for me to reformat my XML output from my
database...
this is my code for converting my db query in perl to xml.
394 my $out = XML::Handler::YAWriter->new (AsFile => "/web/
seabass/output/search/results.xml");
395 my $gen = XML::Generator::DBI->new (
396 Handler => $out,
397 dbh=>$dbh,
398 Indent=>1
399 );
400 $gen->execute($sth);
401 $dbh->disconnect();
