[samemickey]

hi,

I am using Team-site and it does not support DOM. i need to read a xml file through java script and unable to do that without DOM. Is there are method for doing this?

Thanks,

For an example of a parsing application in javascript try abcnwc.htm. You would need regular expressions to identify the elements of XML code to deal with them as well as identify code which is an error. After setup, the parsing in the above link is in the lines 544-822.

Good luck!

its lots of hand-tuning, but it can be done for specific applications in a reasonable amount of time.

for example,
getting the head and body tag content and getting a class from the body tag using pure js:

	 
 fileValue=document.documentElement.innerHTML;

 myPage={};

	//head and body html:
	var head=(fileValue.split(/<head[^>]*>/i)[1]||"").split(/<\/head>/i)[0]||"";
        myPage.head=head;

	var body=(fileValue.split(/<body[^>]*>/i)[1]||"").split(/<\/body>/i)[0]||"";
	   if(body){myPage.body=body||333;}
	
	//body class:
	var bc=fileValue.match(/<body[^>]*>/i);
	 if(bc){bc=(bc[0].split("class=")[1]||"").slice(1).split(/['"]/)[0]; }
	 if(bc){ myPage.bodClass=bc;}

alert(  JSON.stringify( myPage, null, "\t" )  );
