xml.childNodes.length issue

[praveensewak]

I have written an AJAX script:

for (j=0;j<xml.chil dNodes.length;j ++){
/*** CODE HERE ****/
}
In IE, i get the corrent code rendered, BUT in Firefox, i only get the first entry!!!

When i alert(xml.child Nodes.length) in Firefox, i ALWAYS get 1!!!! it works fine in IE, Opera, etc....

Please someone (anyone!) help!!!

Hi...

Thanks.... But i have spent like 4 hours looking for this.... just cant figure it out....

here is the entire script.... as you can see, i want to dynamically load the banners.... i have also checked the makeHttpRequest () function in both Firefox and IE....

:

[I]function makeHttpRequest(url, callback_function, return_xml)
{
   var http_request = false;

   if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
       http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
       if (http_request.overrideMimeType) {
           http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
       }

   } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
       try {
           http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
       } catch (e) {
           try {
               http_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
           } catch (e) {}
       }
   }

   if (!http_request) {
       alert('Unfortunatelly you browser doesn\'t support this feature.');
       return false;
   }
   http_request.onreadystatechange = function() {
       if (http_request.readyState == 4) {
           if (http_request.status == 200) {
               if (return_xml) {
                   eval(callback_function + '(http_request.responseXML)');
               } else {
                   eval(callback_function + '(http_request.responseText)');
               }
           } else {
               alert('There was a problem with the request.(Code: ' + http_request.status + ')');
           }
       }
   }
   http_request.open('GET', url, true);
   http_request.send(null);
}

function loadBanner(xml)
{
	html_content = '<table width="640" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
	
	for (j=0;j<xml.childNodes.length;j++){
		var id = xml.getElementsByTagName('id').item(j).firstChild.nodeValue;
		var href = xml.getElementsByTagName('href').item(j).firstChild.nodeValue;
		var src = xml.getElementsByTagName('src').item(j).firstChild.nodeValue;
		var alt = xml.getElementsByTagName('alt').item(j).firstChild.nodeValue;
		var pos = xml.getElementsByTagName('pos').item(j).firstChild.nodeValue;
		
		html_content += '<tr>';
		html_content += '<td width="95" align="center" valign="middle"><input name="id" type="text" class="inputbox" id="id" style="width:30px" value="' + id +  '" /></td>';
		html_content += '<td width="230" align="center" valign="middle"><input name="thumb" type="image" id="thumb" src="../images/' + src + '" alt="' + alt + '" width="90" height="66"></td>';
		html_content += '<td width="210" align="center" valign="middle"><input name="url" type="text" class="inputbox" id="url" style="width:150px" value="' + href + '" /></td>';
		html_content += '<td width="95" align="center" valign="middle"><img src="images/b_view.gif" alt="View Ad" width="16" height="16">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="images/b_modify.gif" alt="Edit Ad" width="16" height="16">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="images/b_delete.gif" alt="Delete Ad" width="16" height="16"> </td>';
		html_content += '</tr>';
	}
	html_content += '</table>';
	
	document.getElementById('bannerlist').innerHTML = html_content;
	document.getElementById("bannertable").style.display = "solid";

Have you tried uninstalling and resintalling FireFox?

Jugging by the information I have read through the link I gave you, you should be okay.

Perhaps something changed in FireFox that's not allowing your code to run properly.
