This should be simple! Nested XML.

[flipsideguy]

My XML structure:

<search>
<set name="one">
<image client="google" />
<image client="msn" />
<image client="yahoo" />
</set>
<set name="two">
<image client="lycos" />
<image client="altavista" />
<image client="ask" />
</set>
</search>

1. How do I get all the values from set "one"?
2. How do I get all the values from set "two"?

This is getting very messy. I have spent hours. I can get the values of all sets (parents) but I can't get the values of the children inside a specific set.

All help is much appreciated. I have searched high and dry.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

So I have been playing with hit, and finding good replies here on FK that's helped me a bit.

How do I only get the attributes from one <search></search> at a time?

Currently the trace shows node attributes (client) from all available <image client=""/>

I would greatly appreciate your help. Been at it for days without a solution.

Here's what I have now:

XML

<search>
<set name="one">
<image client="google" />
<image client="msn" />
<image client="yahoo" />
</set>
</search>

<search>
<set name="two">
<image client="lycos" />
<image client="altavista" />
<image client="ask" />
</set>
</search>

AS

myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function() {
	xmlParse(this);
};
myXML.load("searchengines.xml");

xmlParse = function (xmlObj) {
	aNode = xmlObj.childNodes;
	len1 = aNode.length;
	for (var i = 0; i<len1; i++) {
		len2 = aNode[i].firstChild.childNodes.length;
		for (var j = 0; j<len2; j++) {
			trace(aNode[i].firstChild.childNodes[j].attributes.client);
		}
	}
};

So I managed to solve it myself

I had the two for loops nested, which returns all nodes and attributes. But to only access a specific set you have to separate the two for loops. I'm posting it here just in case someone else has the same problem. Sharing is caring.

myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function() {
	xmlParse(this);
};
myXML.load("searchengines.xml");

xmlParse = function (xmlObj) {
	aNode = xmlObj.childNodes;
	len1 = aNode.length;
	for (var i = 0; i<len1; i++) {
		len2 = aNode[i].firstChild.childNodes.length;
	}
	for (var j = 0; j<len2; j++) {
		trace(aNode[0].firstChild.childNodes[j].attributes.client);
	}

};

This should now return all values / attributes of the first set.
