Dom Xml

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 11.2008

This is my first post in this forum, so Hi all!

Does anyone has experience with manipulating DOM XML with Javascript?

I would like to serialize a HTML node to a XML string using Javascript.

In Firefox browsers it’s pretty easy. You just use the built-in XMLSerializer class:

var myNode = document.getElementById(‘properties’);
var xmlString = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString( myNode );

But what about the others browsers? I searched a lot and couldn’t find any information, even for Internet Explorer. I seems the other browsers lack a function like that one.

Does anyone has any experience with this ? Please help !

Thank you
Michael Scofield

@KorJul 11.2008 — Could be:
<i>
</i>function getXMLNodeSerialisation(xmlNode) {
var text = false;
try {
// Gecko-based browsers, Safari, Opera.
var serializer = new XMLSerializer();
text = serializer.serializeToString(xmlNode);
}
catch (e) {
try {
// Internet Explorer.
text = xmlNode.xml;
}
catch (e) {}
}
return text;
}

@rnd_meJul 11.2008 — in IE, element.outerHTML should always be well-formed xml.
