The Microsoft XML Parser

To create an XML Document object with JavaScript, use the following code:

var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.appendChild(xmlDoc.createElement("root"))

XML Parser in Mozilla Browsers

Plain XML documents are displayed in a tree-like structure in Mozilla (just like IE).

Mozilla also supports parsing of XML data that resides in a file, using JavaScript. The parsed data can be displayed as HTML.

To create an XML Document object with JavaScript in Mozilla, use the following code:

var xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument("ns","root",null)

The first parameter, ns, defines the namespace used for the XML document. The second parameter, root, is the XML root element in the XML file. The third parameter, null, is always null because it is not implemented yet.

Loading an XML File Into the Parser

The following code loads an existing XML document ("note.xml") into the XML parser:

<script type="text/javascript">

var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load("note.xml")
...
...
...
</script>//ie和firefox都支持load,firefox不支持loadXML(string text)

The first line of the script creates an instance of the Microsoft XML parser. The third line tells the parser to load an XML document called "note.xml". The second line turns off asynchronized loading, to make sure that the parser will not continue execution of the script before the document is fully loaded.

Accessing XML Elements by Name

Addressing elements by number is NOT the preferred way to extract elements from XML documents. Using names is a better way:

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXML()
{
var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load("note.xml")//注意firefox的load("note.xml")并不会读该文件,须要给fox增加loadXML()涵数

xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("to").item(0).text
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("from").item(0).text
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("heading").item(0).text
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("body").item(0).text
}
</script>

Important: To extract the text (Jani) from an element like this: <from>Jani</from>, the syntax is: getElementsByTagName("from").item(0).text, and NOT like this: getElementsByTagName("from").text. The reason for this is that the result returned from getElementsByTagName is an array of nodes, containing all nodes found within the XML document with the specified tag name (in this case "from").

The XMLHttpRequest object is supported in Internet Explorer 5.0+, Safari 1.2, Mozilla 1.0 / Firefox, and Netscape 7.


What is an HTTP Request?

With an HTTP request, a web page can make a request to, and get a response from a web server - without reloading the page. The user will stay on the same page, and he or she will not notice that scripts might request pages, or send data to a server in the background.

By using the XMLHttpRequest object, a web developer can change a page with data from the server after the page has loaded.

Google Suggest is using the XMLHttpRequest object to create a very dynamic web interface: When you start typing in Google's search box, a JavaScript sends the letters off to a server and the server returns a list of suggestions.

Creating an XMLHttpRequest Object

For Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, and Netscape:

var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest()

For Internet Explorer:

var xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

Example

<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlhttp
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
// code for Mozilla, etc.
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest()
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=xmlhttpChange
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlhttp.send(null)
}
// code for IE
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
if (xmlhttp)
{
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=xmlhttpChange
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlhttp.send()
}
}
}
function xmlhttpChange()
{
// if xmlhttp shows "loaded"
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
// if "OK"
if (xmlhttp.status==200)
{
// ...some code here...
}
else
{
alert("Problem retrieving XML data")
}
}
}
</script>

Why are we Using async in our Examples?

Most of the examples here use the async mode (the third parameter of open() set to true).

The async parameter specifies whether the request should be handled asynchronously or not. True means that script continues to run after the send() method, without waiting for a response from the server. false means that the script waits for a response before continuing script processing. By setting this parameter to false, you run the risk of having your script hang if there is a network or server problem, or if the request is long (the UI locks while the request is being made) a user may even see the "Not Responding" message. It is safer to send asynchronously and design your code around the onreadystatechange event

The XMLHttpRequest Object Reference

Methods

MethodDescription
abort()Cancels the current request
getAllResponseHeaders()Returns the complete set of http headers as a string
getResponseHeader("headername")Returns the value of the specified http header
open("method","URL",async,"uname","pswd")Specifies the method, URL, and other optional attributes of a request

The method parameter can have a value of "GET", "POST", or "PUT" (use "GET" when requesting data and use "POST" when sending data (especially if the length of the data is greater than 512 bytes.

The URL parameter may be either a relative or complete URL.

The async parameter specifies whether the request should be handled asynchronously or not. true means that script processing carries on after the send() method, without waiting for a response. false means that the script waits for a response before continuing script processing

send(content)Sends the request
setRequestHeader("label","value")Adds a label/value pair to the http header to be sent

Properties

PropertyDescription
onreadystatechangeAn event handler for an event that fires at every state change
readyStateReturns the state of the object:

0 = uninitialized
1 = loading
2 = loaded
3 = interactive
4 = complete

responseTextReturns the response as a string
responseXMLReturns the response as XML. This property returns an XML document object, which can be examined and parsed using W3C DOM node tree methods and properties

statusTextReturns the status as a string (e.g. "Not Found" or "OK")

XML DOM Node Types
