xml and <br />

[iswariak]

Hi all,I have the text "Courtesy: TSDA <br /> (at Dharmapuri museum)." in the xml file. I have to display the text in two lines. The text "(at Dharmapuri museum)." is missing in the html file. Please tell me how to provide carriage returns while displaying the text in html from xml files?XML file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><imageData state_code="tn" site_name="kuruvinayanapalli" period="3"><row><imgName>tn_0382_3_ia_kuruvinayanapalli_antiq1_01.jpg</imgName><imgCaption>Kuruvinayanapalli: Iron Implements</imgCaption><imgDesc>Courtesy: TSDA <br /> (at Dharmapuri museum).</imgDesc></row></imageData>Displaying xml data in html file using javascript sdesc = nxmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("imgDesc");document.getElementById("idesc").childNodes[0].nodeValue = sdesc[slno].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

To prevent the xml parser from interpreting "<", ">" etc in your data, you can enclose the text in a CDATA section:

<imgDesc><![CDATA[Courtesy: TSDA <br /> (at Dharmapuri museum).]]></imgDesc>

See this page for more info about CDATA sections.

HiWhen I use the following statementdocument.getElementById("idesc").childNodes[0].nodeValue = sdesc[slno].childNodes[0].nodeValue;The result is Courtesy: TSDA <br /> (at Dharmapuri museum).The text "<br/>" is also displayed instead of coming in a new line.The result should be as follows:Courtesy: TSDA (at Dharmapuri museum).ThanksIswaria

Hi allIf I use document.getElementById("idesc").innerHTML = sdesc[slno].childNodes[0].nodeValue;instead of document.getElementById("idesc").childNodes[0].nodeValue = sdesc[slno].childNodes[0].nodeValue;The html tags <br/>, <i> and so on are getting affected.--Iswaria

Return the XML to what you initially had

<imgDesc>Courtesy: TSDA <br /> (at Dharmapuri museum).</imgDesc>

The variant Reg Edit suggested is equivalent to writing

<imgDesc>Courtesy: TSDA <br /> (at Dharmapuri museum).</imgDesc>

Which could be turned into the other, but still, it's not the same.If it doesn't work with that latest JS of yours, the situation might get a bit harder. You'd need to clone all child nodes of the <imgDesc/> element somehow.
