If you the alert the responseXML.documentElement does it return null? If so look at this: http://radio.javaranch.com/pascarello/2006/09/12/1158096122600.html Eric On 2/9/07, kaos <yomerosoy2005-foros@yahoo.com> wrote: - Hide quoted text - > hello eric. thank you for your interest, i tried what you wrote but > unfortunately it did't work as i espected. i added the next line of > code at the end of yours > alert ("the result is: " + foo.length); > and the result is = 0 (zero) > do you have another idea??? thank you again. > On 8 feb, 11:03, "Eric Pascarello" <alienf@gmail.com> wrote: > > var xmlDoc = myXMLHttp.responseXML.documentElement; > > var foo = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("computers"); > > var bar = null; > > if(foo.length==1)bar = foo[0]; > > Eric > > On 2/8/07, kaos <yomerosoy2005-foros@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > ok, here is my problem, i'm reciving 2 xml files and i want to know > > > which one is. the files are some like this > > > <computers name='catalog'> > > > <nodes ....../> > > > </computers> > > > <users name='list'> > > > <nodes ...> > > > </users> > > > so, i want to know how to get the name of the root element (computers > > > or users) i've tried with: > > > responseXML.getElementsById('computers ') > > > responseXML.getElementsById('computers ')[0].firstChild.data > > > responseXML.getElementsByTagName('computers') > > > but i can't get the data. > > > thank you.- Ocultar texto de la cita - > > - Mostrar texto de la cita - I think it's a valid xml file, in fact i can iterate over the file with this. var nodos = originalRequest.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('nodo'); for (count;count< nodos.length; count++){ .....//it woks fine ..... } and this is the file. <empresas name="departamentos"> <nodo id="-1">NO UTILIZAR</nodo> <nodo id="01">GERENCIA DE CONTROL DE CALIDAD</nodo> </empresas> but the only problem, as i commented in my first post, is that i'm not able to get the name of the 'root', in this case "empresas", thank you for your interest. -----------------------------------------------Reply----------------------------------------------- By the way, i forgot to write about the test i made. ok if i write in the url bar http://localhost/activosfijos/articulos/vista/listaDepartamentos.do . this returns me the next file <empresas name="departamentos"> <nodo id="-1">NO UTILIZAR</nodo> <nodo id="01">GERENCIA DE CONTROL DE CALIDAD</nodo> </empresas> >>If you the alert the responseXML.documentElement does it return null? yes it returns me the following [object elment] in firefox and nothing on ie 7 but alert ("the result is: " + foo.length); is still giving me 0. -----------------------------------------------Reply----------------------------------------------- Do you have <?xml version="1.0" ?> and did you set the content type?
