    Namespace xml extract -- help

    I have a file similar to this:

    <Customer xmlns="http://www.localsite.c om/ecommerce/2006-v01/
    organization">
    <ns1:Contract xmlns:ns1="http ://www.localsite.c om/ecommerce/2006-v01/
    portfolio">
    <ns1:ContractId >
    <ns2:Identifi er xmlns:ns2="http ://www.localsite.c om/ecommerce/2006-
    v01/common">199</ns2:Identifier>
    </ns1:ContractId>
    <ns1:Organizati onId>
    <ns3:Identifi er xmlns:ns3="http ://www.localsite.c om/ecommerce/2006-
    v01/common">6142</ns3:Identifier>
    </ns1:Organizatio nId>
    </ns1:Contract>
    </Customer>

    How can I extract, Identifier field's data?

    It seems I am not able to extract using DOM, because of Namespaces.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    TIA

      It seems you aren't doing your homework.

      DOM Level 2 and later are fully namespace-aware, if built using the
      namespace-aware APIs and/or a namespace-aware parser. Look at any decent
      DOM tutorial. If you don't understand namespaces, look at a good XML
      tutorial as well.

          Thanks! As long as I am on the right track I should do well. For
          Namespaces, I will use http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_namespaces.asp
          and http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_examples.asp

          Thanks again!

              I did say find a *good* tutorial. Unfortunately that isn't one.

              The DOM examples they show are obsolete; they use the DOM Level 1
              non-namespaced create-element method, for example, which isn't
              compatable with namespace-aware processing. These days you shouldn't
              touch createElement() ; you should only be using createElementNS (). Ditto
              for other methods replaced by ...NS() versions.


              Yes, I admit, this is partly the DOM WG's fault for not clearly
              deprecating the old non-NS calls. We wanted to do so, but we got a huge
              amount of pushback from folks who pointed out that the old calls were
              still legitimate for (and ONLY for) backward-compatability with
              pre-existing DOM Level 1 code. The best agreement we could get from them
              was agreement that the DOM Level 2 spec should include a warning ... but
              not enough people actually read the spec. Growl.

                          Here is JavaScript that runs in W3C DOM Level 2 compliant browsers like
                          Mozilla or like Opera:

                          var identifiers =
                          xmlDocument.get ElementsByTagNa meNS('http://www.localsite.c om/ecommerce/2006-v01/common',
                          'Identifier');
                          for (var i = 0, l = identifiers.len gth; i < l; i++) {
                          alert(identifie rs[i].firstChild.nod eValue);
                          }

                          You could for instance load the XML document with XMLHttpRequest.

                              I've been generally (not completely) pleased with the material that gets
                              posted at http://www.ibm.com/xml.
