Handling XML documents with namespaces

Description

yes I first encountered the problem with an earlier version.

I now replaced the old version of jQuery with the version you specified and

replaced the deprecated syntax.

The problem still persists.

In a responseXML containing XML without namespaces, Opera and FF find all the

elements and IE finds nothing.

If the responseXML contains namespaces but doesn't use prefixes, FF and Opera

find all the elements (ignoring the namespaces of the elements) and IE finds

nothing.

If the responseXML contains both namespaces prefixes, no browser finds the

elements (but I guess for different reasons).

I don't know if the mailing list accepts attachments so I'll include the test

case I used here:

First the JS: <test.js>

function testFunc() {

function jqueryback(httprequest) {

var resp = httprequest.responseXML;

$("body").append("<p>divs found in document: "+$("div").length+"/3</p>");

$("body").append("<p>properties found in responseXML "+$("properties", resp).length+"/1</p>");

$("body").append("<p>jsconf found in responseXML "+$("jsconf", resp).length+"/1</p>");

$("body").append("<p>things found in responseXML "+$("thing", resp).length+"/2</p>");

}

$.ajax({

url: "with_fries.xml",

type: "GET",

data: "",

success: jqueryback

});

}

The XML: <with_fries.xml> (to get the other two testcases simply remove the prefixes and/or namespace declarations

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<soap:Body>

<jsconf xmlns="http://www.example.com/ns1">

<ab:response xmlns:ab="http://www.example.com/ns2">

<ab:meta>

<ab:component id="seite1">

<cd:properties xmlns:cd="http://www.example.com/ns3">

<cd:property name="prop1"><cd:thing/><cd:value>1</cd:value></cd:property>

<cd:property name="prop2"><cd:thing att="something"/></cd:property>

</cd:properties>

</ab:component>

</ab:meta>

</ab:response>

</jsconf>

</soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

And the html file: <test.html>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http:www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<script src="test.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(testFunc);</script>

</head>

<body>

<div>

<div><div>Testing jQuery's ability to find nodes in responseXML on various browsers</div></div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Added test to SVN. jQuery is currently unable to handle namespaces, but we should be able to fix the problems for IE.

IE bugs have been solved, but handling namespaces as a different topic.

Changed November 11, 2006 01:09PM UTC by joern comment:3

version: → 1.0

Handling namespaces may be introduced in 1.1 by using the pipe symbol ("|").
