Answer 3

hi,

I have used both but it is not working

xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify;

and

xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify();

after complete this line then print this

 alert(xmlDoc.onreadystatechange);

than errors.
Still it is not working.

Answer 4

Hi,
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify();
 is wrong
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify;
We are assigning the Ref. not value. I got xmlDocElement too with your XML. Let me know the updates.

Answer 5

Hi,

this function is not working.....
onreadystatechange()


than jQuery errors,
  xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = verify();

Answer 6

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Validation>
  <Validationtype>
  <Text>Please Enter field.</Text>
  <Numeric>Please Enter Only Numeric value in field.</Numeric>
  </Validationtype>  
</Validation>

Answer 9

Hi,
Try this way. I am not sure where the road block is?
XML Used
<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
<employees>
<employee id="1" g="M">Jaish</employee>
<employee id="2" g="M">KD</employee>
<employee id="3" g="M">Aji</employee>
</employees>
Code
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
function pageLoad()
{
    loadxml("E:\\JAISH\\Validation.xml");
}
function loadxml(xmlFile)
{
    xmlDoc.async="false";
    xmlDoc.onreadystatechange=verify;
    xmlDoc.load(xmlFile);
    var xmlDocElement=xmlDoc.documentElement;
    alert(xmlDocElement.xml);
    var gender =  xmlDocElement.childNodes(0).attributes[1].value;
    alert(gender);
    var name =  xmlDocElement.childNodes(0).text
    alert(name)
}
//This is call back for any errors
function verify()
{
 // 0 Object is not initialized
 // 1 Loading object is loading data
 // 2 Loaded object has loaded data
 // 3 Data from object can be worked with
 // 4 Object completely initialized
 if (xmlDoc.readyState != 4)
 {
   return false;
 }
}

    </script>
