Hi,
I must be doing something wrong. I would sure appreciate your help
in figuring it out.
I am getting an XML file from a program called Pc Bug Doctor. I
don't see a way to list the file in Pc Bug Doctor so I would like to be
able to read it easier.
I have attached a sample of the XML file. The name starts with
FixedOnTuesday.
I have attached a sample of what I tried to put together with your
insturctions at
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/htmlhigh/importxml.html
The name starts with My Test
I created the file importxml.js and I had all the files in
C:\Scratch11\
Maybe I'm not using the correct example you have created.
Thank you very much for any help you may feel like giving.
Thank you,
Gary Kuznitz
PS: I'd like to use this in Firefox 1.06 if that's ok.
Gary,
Hmm, either things got a little garbled on the way, or you are using the
wrong approach. You cannot embed the script inside the XML file, and you
need to write the function to process the XML data after it has beeen
loaded.
You need to use an HTML file, and run the script in the HTML file. It should
import the XML file, process it, and display its contents to you.
I have attached a small example, which imports your file, and displays it as
a collapsed list (using my nested list collapsing script), exactly
replicating your XML file structure. Obviously, you might want to do
something more useful than that, but this should be enough to get you
started.

Hi Mark,
That is absolutely perfect. Thank you very much. I had no idea it
took so much coding to re-format an XML file.
Thanks a bunch,
Gary
