Description

Hi,

First, Thanks for the help.

I am storing xml in a hidden field which is going to be updated by some user actions. I need the xml changes to be reflected in an unsorted list so I am using jquery to do that. The code works in Firefox but not IE. Following is a sample of the code. Thanks for the help again.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3C DTD HTML 4.01EN"

"http:www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">

<title>Address book</title>

<script src="jquery-1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

function MyFunc() {

var xml = document.getElementById('myHiddenField').value;

$(unescape(xml)).find('MediaAssetInfoLite').each(function() {

var title = $(this).find('Title').text();

var url = $(this).find('Uri').text();

$('<li></li>').html('<a href=\\"' + url + '\\">' + title + '</a>').appendTo('#target');

});

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<div id='update-target'>

<a href="javascript:MyFunc();">Click here to load addresses</a>

<ul id="target">

</ul>

<input id="myHiddenField" type="hidden" value="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

<ArrayOfMediaAssetInfoLite xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >

<MediaAssetInfoLite>

<Title>object13_t</Title>

<Uri>http://localhost/Assets/object13_t.jpg</Uri>

</MediaAssetInfoLite>

<MediaAssetInfoLite>

<Title>pc0134a_collectItem</Title>

<Uri>http://localhost/Assets/pc0134a_collectItem.png</Uri>

</MediaAssetInfoLite>

<MediaAssetInfoLite>

<Title>pc0134a_display</Title>

<Uri>http://localhost/Assets/pc0134a_display.png</Uri>

</MediaAssetInfoLite>

</ArrayOfMediaAssetInfoLite>"

/>

</div>

</body>

</html>

The $(html) operation can't be used to parse xml. Use an xml parser instead.
