JavaScript converts xml into an html table, xmltable
This example describes how to convert xml into an html table using JavaScript. Share it with you for your reference. The details are as follows:
function ConvertToTable(targetNode){ // if the targetNode is xmlNode this line must be removed // i couldnt find a way to parse xml string to xml node // so i parse xml string to xml document targetNode = targetNode.childNodes[0]; // first we need to create headers var columnCount = targetNode.childNodes[0].childNodes.length; var rowCount = targetNode.childNodes.length // name for the table var myTable = document.createElement("table"); myTable.border = 1; myTable.borderColor ="green"; var firstRow = myTable.insertRow(); var firstCell = firstRow.insertCell(); firstCell.colSpan = columnCount; firstCell.innerHTML = targetNode.nodeName; // name for the columns var secondRow = myTable.insertRow(); for(var i=0;i<columnCount;i++) { var newCell = secondRow.insertCell(); newCell.innerHTML = targetNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].nodeName; } // now fill the rows with data for(var i2=0;i2<rowCount;i2++) { var newRow = myTable.insertRow(); for(var j=0;j<columnCount;j++) { var newCell = newRow.insertCell(); newCell.innerHTML = targetNode.childNodes[i2].childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue; } } // i prefer to send it as string instead of a table object return myTable.outerHTML;}
The following is a simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I hope this article will help you design javascript programs.
