Hi Andreas,
First of all, « Tous mes vux de bonheur
»
Andre M.Winter could answer one of my questions about the php code to write
for JSON methode and now its OK.
I have a subsidiary question about the function receive data found in the
script search.js and helper_functions.js :
As I understand, the code is not ok if I want to react differently from 2
different getData requests? To be more clear (excuse my poor English), what
I would like to do is :
To use the generic code of helper_functions.js about get and receive
functions,
In the code of the search.js file, to request 2 different getData and then,
to receive 2 different callback : For exemple, I use 2 different
SelectionLists and so I would like to have 2 different receive data code
BUT, using the only receive code written in helper_functions.js :
//this is the callback method for the getURL function
getData.prototype.operationComplete = function(data) {
//check if data has a success property
if (data.success) {
//parse content of the XML format to the variable "node"
if (this.returnFormat == "xml") {
var node = parseXML(data.content,document);
this.callBackFunction(node.firstChild);
}
if (this.returnFormat == "json") {
if (typeof(this.callBackFunction) == "function") {
this.callBackFunction(data.content);
}
if (typeof(this.callBackFunction) == "object") {
this.callBackFunction.receiveData(data.content);
}
}
}
else {
alert("something went wrong with dynamic loading of geometry!");
}
}
//this method receives data from XMLHttpRequest
getData.prototype.handleEvent = function() {
if (this.xmlRequest.readyState == 4) {
if (this.returnFormat == "xml") {
var importedNode =
document.importNode(this.xmlRequest.responseXML.documentElement,true);
this.callBackFunction(importedNode);
}
if (this.returnFormat == "json") {
if (typeof(this.callBackFunction) == "function") {
this.callBackFunction(this.xmlRequest.responseText);
}
if (typeof(this.callBackFunction) == "object") {
this.callBackFunction.receiveData(this.xmlRequest.responseText);
}
}
}
}
Do you understand my problem?

Objet : [svg-developers] Re: populate a carto.net selectionList
Hi Pascal,
you can use the json format for that purpose, which is basically javascript
code generated
dynamically on the server and sent to the client as text. The client
receives the text string
and can use with eval(textstring) or a function to interpret the javascript
code.
I haven't documented it yet, but here is a wrapper function for
getURL/XMLHttpRequest
that allows to either retrieve an XML node or text to be used with eval().
http://www.carto.
<http://www.carto.net/williams/yosemite/helper_functions.js>
net/williams/yosemite/helper_functions.js
have a look at the getData object. Note that his object is slightly
different from the original
getXMLData object. It allows for a third parameter that can have the values
"xml" or "json"
in http://www.carto. <http://www.carto.net/williams/yosemite/search.js>
net/williams/yosemite/search.js
have a look at the method "searchObject.prototype.receiveData" which
receives the json
text and returns the javascript array through a function.
You can use the variable myResults as an array to populate the selectionList
Here is an example server request that returns a json array:
http://www.carto. <http://www.carto.net/williams/yosemite/sendNameData.php?>
net/williams/yosemite/sendNameData.php?
searchstring=Half&searchtype=starts
with&offset=0&limit=10&xmin=244000&ymin=4150000&xmax=308000&ymax=423100
0&filterByMapExtent=false
I plan to document these XML/JSON network requests in a tutorial on
carto.net but am
currently busy. Will take a bit of time until it is available ...
Hope this helps a bit,
Andreas
