I want the script to find where it says, "anyword" in the xml (within the tag of course), and stop on that. the below acplishes that fine.
var xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("nhl.xml");
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("tagname");
for (var i=0;i<=x.length;i++){
if (x[i].textContent = "anyword") {
var variable = x[i].textContent;
}
}
However I want to take it one step further and be able to set 'variable' to the next node after it finds 'anyword'. so i tried something like this and it came back with the very last element in the collection, instead of the next one.
var xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("nhl.xml");
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("tagname");
for (var i=0;i<=x.length;i++){
if (x[i].textContent = "anyword") {
var variable = x[i+1].textContent;
}
}
so i edited the last line again and made it
var variable = x[i].nextSibling.textContent;
this came back null. ripping my hair out here. if it helps to answer any, if i just put it x[i].nextSibling
it es back [Object Text]
any help?

Reset to default 5By x[i].textContent = "anyword"
do you mean x[i].textContent == "anyword"
?
This is a mon problem for people. The modern browsers (basically all them except IE) will add text nodes between elements. Those text nodes only contain the whitespace and aren't of a lot of use. Use this function to find the next node.
function nextSibling(node) {
do {
node = node.nextSibling;
} while (node && node.nodeType != 1) ;
return node
}
It gets explained pretty well here: JavaScript XML Parsing
var xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("nhl.xml");
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("tagname");
for (var i=0;i<=x.length;i++){
if (x[i].textContent = "anyword") {
var variable = x[i+1].textContent;
}
}
I did't look in details but this seems odd to me :
for (var i=0;i<=x.length;i++)
Have you tried
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
