Search An Xml File And Display Results With Javascript
I have been searching everywhere for the last 3 hours and I couldn't find anything that could help me. I'm very sorry if there are any answer around but I just couldn't get to it.
Solution 1:
I was curios about this, and none answered so I tried some things and tuns out best and easy way to do this is with jQuery
test.xml
<item><entry><title>The Title</title><description>Description here</description></entry><entry><title>The Title 2 </title><description>Description here second</description></entry></item>index.html
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><scriptsrc="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script></head><body><inputtype="text"id="search"autocomplete="off" /><pid="output"></p><scripttype="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#search').on('keyup', function(){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "test.xml",
dataType: "xml",
success: parseXML
});
});
});
functionparseXML(xml){
var searchFor = $('#search').val();
var reg = newRegExp(searchFor, "i");
$(xml).find('entry').each(function(){
var title = $(this).find('title').text();
var titleSearch = title.search(reg);
var desc = $(this).find('description').text();
var descSearch = desc.search(reg);
$('#output').empty();
if(titleSearch > -1){
$('#output').append('Found <i>'+searchFor+'<\/i> in title: '+title.replace(reg, '<b>'+searchFor+'</b>')+'<br \/>');
}
if(descSearch > -1){
$('#output').append('Found <i>'+searchFor+'<\/i> in description: '+desc.replace(reg, '<b>'+searchFor+'</b>')+'<br \/>');
}
});
}
</script></body></html>
