Hi,

I'm trying to work Example 11 in chapter 12.

When the code reaches the for loop, the variable is not being initialized.

Here is the code:

<code>
function displayDogs()
{
var dogNodes = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("dog");

var table = document.createElement("table");
table.setAttribute("cellPadding",5);
table.setAttribute("width","100%");
table.setAttribute("border", "1");

var tableHeader = document.createElement("thead");

for (var i = 0; i < dogNodes[0].childNodes.length; i++)
{
var tableRow = document.createElement("tr");
var currentNode = dogNodes[0].childNodes[i];

if (currentNode.nodeType == 1)
{
var tableHeaderCell = document.createElement("th");

var textData = document.createTextNode(currentNode.nodeName);

tableHeaderCell.appendChild(textData);
tableRow.appendChild(tableHeaderCell);
}
}

tableHeader.appendChild(tableRow);

table.appendChild(tableHeader);

var tableBody = document.createElement("tbody");

for (var i = 0; i < dognodes.length; i++) <===========
{
var tableRow = document.createElement("tr");

for (var j = 0; j < dogNodes[i].childNodes.length; j++)
{
var currentNode = dogNodes[i].childNodes[j];
if (currentNode.nodeType == 1)
{
var tableDataCell = document.createElement("td");
textData =
document.createTextNode(currentNode.firstChild.nod eValue);

tableDataCell.appendChild(textData);

tableRow.appendChild(tableDatacell);
}
}

tableBody.appendChild(tableRow);
}

table.appendChild(tableBody);

document.body.appendChild(table);
}
</code>

Any help ...


Tom
