Get value from XML by SnuZZer on 04-19-2008 at 07:55 PM

Hey.
I haven't been working with XML for that long time, but I am now.

I'm trying to get the value, from the red strings in the following code, but I can't figure out how.

The XML is dynamic and doesn't have a permanent number of items, so I am doing a for();

The XML document.

code:
<myxmldocument>
<items count="2">
<item id="22380">
<name>This is a test</name>
<quality>4</quality>
<icon>test_icon</icon>
</item>
<item id="18952">
<name>Simone's Head</name>
<quality>2</quality>
<icon>icon_for_testing</icon>
</item>
</items>
</myxmldocument>

My code:

code:
var SendItems = "";

var Items = XMLmsg.selectSingleNode("myxmldocument//items");
var ItemLink = XMLmsg.selectSingleNode("myxmldocument//items//item");

if(Items != null)
{
for(var i = 0; i < Items.childNodes.length; i++)
{
Quality = Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].text; // Quality

SendItems += "[b]";

switch(Quality) // Name
{
case "0":
SendItems += "[c=#9d9d9d]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "1":
SendItems += "[c=#000000]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "2":
SendItems += "[c=#1eff00]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "3":
SendItems += "[c=#0070dd]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "4":
SendItems += "[c=#a335ee]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "5":
SendItems += "[c=#ff8000]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "6":
SendItems += "[c=#e6cc80]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
}

SendItems += "[/b]";

SendItems += "\n";

SendItems += ItemLink.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].text + "\n";
}

I hope, you can help me out of this problem.

Thanks in advance.

With a lot of searching and using of my little knowledge, I've figured out of to do this.

I've deleted ItemLink and now using Items.

Then I've replaced the following line:

SendItems += ItemLink.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].text + "\n";
to
SendItems += ItemLink.childNodes[i].getAttribute("id") + "\n";

So now my code looks like this:

code:
var SendItems = "";

var Items = XMLmsg.selectSingleNode("myxmldocument//items");

if(Items != null)
{
for(var i = 0; i < Items.childNodes.length; i++)
{
Quality = Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].text; // Quality

SendItems += "[b]";

switch(Quality) // Name
{
case "0":
SendItems += "[c=#9d9d9d]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "1":
SendItems += "[c=#000000]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "2":
SendItems += "[c=#1eff00]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "3":
SendItems += "[c=#0070dd]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "4":
SendItems += "[c=#a335ee]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "5":
SendItems += "[c=#ff8000]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
case "6":
SendItems += "[c=#e6cc80]" + Items.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].text + "[/c] ";
break;
}

SendItems += "[/b]";

SendItems += "\n";

SendItems += SendItems += Items.childNodes[i].getAttribute("id") + "\n";
}
