[RESOLVED] Javascript Parse XML

[jgesolutions]

I am trying to parse a simple XML file and apply the data in the appropriate input fields. My issue is all the values appear as NULL. Does anyone have any ideas?

my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <entBuyer>
<AreaCode>123</AreaCode>
<PreFix>456</PreFix>
<Suffix>7890</Suffix>
<buyAdd1>1234 ODD LN., SUITE 400</buyAdd1>
<buyAdd2>AUSTIN, TX 78744</buyAdd2>
</entBuyer>

my Javascript:

var xmlDocument = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseXML;
areacode = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("AreaCode")[0].nodeValue;
prefix = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("PreFix")[0].nodeValue;
suffix = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("Suffix")[0].nodeValue;
address1 = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("buyAdd1")[0].nodeValue;
address2 = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("buyAdd2")[0].nodeValue;

document.getElementById('areaCode').value = areacode;
document.getElementById('preFix').value=prefix;
document.getElementById('sufFix').value=suffix;
document.getElementById('Address1').innerHTML=address1;
document.getElementById('Address2').innerHTML=address2;

Is that hyphen before the <entBuyer> tag for real?

[jgesolutions]

Ah yeah.. HA HA. I generated the XML from php. I take it the hyphen should not be there?

[jgesolutions]

I stand corrected, the hyphen is only displayed when using Internet Explorer.

For those of you running to the same problem I did, here is the corrected code:

areacode = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("AreaCode")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
prefix = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("PreFix")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
suffix = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("Suffix")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
address1 = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("buyAdd1")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
address2 = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("buyAdd2")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

I had this section in a different function; now its in the same function:

document.getElementById('areaCode').value = areacode;
document.getElementById('preFix').value = prefix;
document.getElementById('sufFix').value = suffix;
document.getElementById('Address1').innerHTML = address1;
document.getElementById('Address2').innerHTML = address2;
