XML exam question for all you guru's

[thegown]

Hi

A friend has passed this to me to see if i could help. My knowledge of xml/java is limited but can anyone help?

1. Write an XML document that marks up the following data:

Joe Programmer Engineering 5E
Erin Designer Marketing 9M
Melissa Designer Human Resources 8H
Craig Administrator Engineering 4E
Danielle Programmer Engineering 12E
Frank Salesperson Marketing 17M
Corinne Programmer Technical Support 19T

Easy. Done that.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<name>Joe</name>
<job>Programmer</job>

</person_detail>
</personel>



2.Modify the XML document of 1 to qualify each person with a namespace prefix corresponding to their job. Need help on this one.

and lastly:

3. Write Javascript code that uses DOM1 to replace every job description that matches
?Programmer? with ?Developer?.


Any help REALLY appreciated dudes. Many thanks for your time.

Do you mean you want to add another element in the exisiting document?

Two possible scenarios.
1. Add an additional element in the document and save the file on the disk( Can not be done just using Javascript)you may have to use Java for this.
2. Add and additional element in the memory just to be used at runtime for tempoarary purposes.Yes this you can do with JavaScrupt.

This can be done by simply
1. search for the element e.g getElementByName("programmer")

then you can insert another element and delete this one.

Hope it helped.
