Hi,
I am fairly new to javascript and still finding my feet so if i am not been clear in my question let me know.
I am using the chart.js to build graphs in my docuemnts and it works great, I am now trying to expand this by linking to an xml file I have set up.
If I use the following code I can retrieve the data fine:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("rego.xml");var nSubOrg = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('SubOrg');var nRev = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('Revenue');var nCol = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('Colour');var nHL = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('HLight'); //chart data for Chart.JS var dData = [ { value: (nRev[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue), color: (nCol[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue), highlight: (nHL[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue), label: (nSubOrg[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue) }, { value: (nRev[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue), color: (nCol[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue), highlight: (nHL[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue), label: (nSubOrg[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue) }, { value: (nRev[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue), color: (nCol[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue), highlight: (nHL[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue), label: (nSubOrg[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue) }];
However I am trying to make this a bit more functional so want to loop through to create the multidimension array. I have found other snippets which gve me an idea about how to do this but I just can't get it work.
I think something like this should but can't get my head round the exact syntax:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("rego.xml");var nSubOrg = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('SubOrg');var nRev = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('Revenue');var nCol = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('Colour');var nHL = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('HLight');//try and build arrayvar dData=new array[()]for (i=0; i<nRev.length; i++) { dData[i].push( value: (nRev[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue), color: (nCol[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue), highlight: (nHL[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue), label: (nSubOrg[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue) ); };
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
