I want to loop trough this xml to read id and action (for example 'uitleg2' and 'uitleg') The xml can go a lot of levels deep. So I need a function to loop through the xml. This is what I have but, of course, does not work.
Code:
dim xml
Response.Buffer = True
Set xml = server.createobject("Microsoft.xmldom")
xml.async = false
xml.load (Server.MapPath("test.xml"))
openXml()
function openXml()
dim objChildNodes, strNode
set objNode = XML.selectNodes("wizard/action")
For i = 0 To (objNode.length - 1)
Set objChildNodes = objNode(i)
Readnode(objChildNodes)
Next
End function
Function readNode(strNode2)
on error resume next
response.write(strNode2.nodename & " " & strNode2.text & " " & strNode2.getAttribute("id") & "<br>")
on error goto 0
If strNode2.hasChildNodes() then
set oNodeList2 = strNode2.childnodes
For Each node2 In oNodeList2
Readnode(node2)
Next
End if
End function
I do want to have the id values back so:
uitleg2 > uitleg
uitleg1 > uitleg
Ifelseactivity1 > ifelseactivity
ifelsebranchactivity1 > ifelsebranchactivity
uitleg3 > uitleg
ifelsebranchactivity2 > ifelsebranchactivity
The i need to know the 'depth' of the children (is there a property for that?). I need to know that uitleg3 is a child of ifelsebranchactivity1 which is a child of ifelsebranchactivity
I also need to now the level of the children so that I know that IfElseBranchActivity1
and IfElseBranchActivity2 are children of IfElseActivity1 and Uitleg3 is a child of IfElseBranchActivity1.
In the loop I want to create a dynamic form. With a case statement. So 'uitleg' means a textbox. With the value 'Uitleg2' I read in the database to have the initial value of the textbox.
'IfElseActivity' will be a dropdown. the IfElseBranchActivity's is the number of options in the dropdown and so on. So your example is ok. How do I achive this?
It would have helped *A LOT* if you had simply SHOWN the <form> you want to produce from that HTML.
See, what you say *still* doesn't make sense.
FIne. Now what is the *NAME* of the textbox???
Is it supposed to be
Code:
<input name="uitleg" value="Uitleg2" />
or did you miswrite that??? Did you mean "name" when you
The name for the textbox I will read from the database but the result will be something like this.
Code:
<input name="fromDatabase" value="Uitleg2" />
It is very complicated and I can't show you much as I'm still prototyping.
Can't you explain me how I can read the depth en how the text property only gives me the first "word".
Sorry that I can't make it very clear.
I read the xml > this gives me "uitleg2" > with the information from the database and the xml file I contruct a formfield.
Bottemline is: How do I get the information from the xml?
The number at the front is the "depth" (level number) where the match was found.
The "path" then shows:
/nodeTagName[id=nodeId]
and, at the end, the text of the node, when found.
You should be able to remove the parts of that which you don't care about to get what you need.
