This chapter demonstrates some HTML applications using XML, HTTP, DOM, and JavaScript
In this chapter we will use the XML file called cd_catalog.xml.
This example loops through each <CD> element, and displays the values of the <ARTIST> and the <TITLE> elements in an HTML table:
<table id="demo"></table>
<script>
function loadXMLDoc() {
const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onload = function() {
const xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML;
const cd = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("CD");
myFunction(cd);
}
xhttp.open("GET", "cd_catalog.xml");
xhttp.send();
}
function myFunction(cd) {
let table="<tr><th>Artist</th><th>Title</th></tr>";
for (let i = 0; i < cd.length; i++) {
table += "<tr><td>" +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("ARTIST")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue
+
"</td><td>" +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue
+
"</td></tr>";
}
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = table;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
For more information about using JavaScript and the XML DOM, go to DOM Intro.
This example uses a function to display the first CD element in an HTML element with id="showCD":
const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onload = function() {
const xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML;
const cd = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("CD");
myFunction(cd, 0);
}
xhttp.open("GET", "cd_catalog.xml");
xhttp.send();
function myFunction(cd, i) {
document.getElementById("showCD").innerHTML =
"Artist: " +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("ARTIST")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +
"<br>Title: " +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +
"<br>Year: " +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("YEAR")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
To navigate between the CDs in the example above, create a
next()
and previous()
function:
function next()
{
// display the next CD, unless you are on the last CD
if (i < len-1) {
i++;
displayCD(i);
}
}
function previous()
{
// display the previous CD, unless you are on the first CD
if (i > 0) {
i--;
displayCD(i);
}
}
The last example shows how you can show album information when the user clicks on a CD:
function displayCD(i) {
document.getElementById("showCD").innerHTML =
"Artist: " +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("ARTIST")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +
"<br>Title: " +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +
"<br>Year: " +
cd[i].getElementsByTagName("YEAR")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
