xml parser - write into XML

[utkarshbidkar]

Hi all,

I am trying to read and write an XMl thro HTML.

I am first loading the file in IE and then reading the XML and updating HTML thro getmessage()

document.getEle mentById("to"). innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getEleme ntsByTagName("t o")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue ;

I am not sure how to write the XML through HTML.

alternately even if anyone can help me to update an xml with the given string thro a C++ prog, that would be extremely helpful.

thanks in advance,

utkarsh.

To create/add nodes to XML document see this link,
that is part of an XML DOM simple tutorial.
Having this technology, you should not need C++ to edit XML files, but if really required, try to post the question on the C++ forum too.

Thank you very much for the reply...that DOM tutorial did help a lot..

here i have one query ....using functions like insertdata in XML DOM ....i am able to change text in the node ....also i can create additional nodes, update etc...but how can i make sure that the changes are reflected in the original xml file too...something like serialization in Java...

On client-side you are able to save data only from IExplorer, using FileSystemObjec t, but it is not cross-browser.
So, you should write the changes on the server using server-side code (ASP, PHP...).
Ajax is a powerful and simple technology to transfer data between client and server.
Also see Using XML in requests and responses using Ajax.
