Cannot display XML data on HTML file

Guest_imported · Mar 28, 2001

I have the following code here and I can't seem to load the XML document into my HTML file. What seems to be the problem?

<html>
<head>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var RootElement1;
var xmlDoc1=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot

;
xmlDoc1.load("simple.xml&quot

;

function StartUp() {
if (xmlDoc1.readyState=="4&quot

{
StartLoading();
}
else {
alert("Loading operation could not start " + xmlDoc1.readyState);
}
}

function StartLoading() {
RootElement1=xmlDoc1.documentElement;
todata.innerText=RootElement1.childNodes(0).text;
fromdata.innerText=RootElement1.childNodes(1).text;
subjectdata.innerText=RootElement1.childNodes(2).text;
bodydata.innerText=RootElement1.childNodes(3).text;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="ffffff" onload="StartUp()">
TO: 
FROM: 
SUBJECT: 
BODY: 
</body>
</html>

Hi!
I have tried your code in MS IE
with following simple.xml file
and it was working.

simple.xml

Code:

<message>
	<to>To Sneik 35</to>
	<from>Me</from>
	<subject>Subj is ... </subject>
	<body>The body is ...</body>
</message>

the result was:

TO: To Sneik 35
FROM: Me
SUBJECT: Subj was ...
BODY: The body is ...
