Dear Kendo UI Team,

I have been studying the KendoUI Web examples and currently having problems getting data from a remote XML feed. Here's the example that I'm refering to Binding to XML Data and below is my code. I simply replace the source from local to Books.xml on the demo site.

Code:

<ul id="books"></ul>

<script id="template" type="text/x-kendo-template">

<li class="book">

<a href="#= url #">

<h3>#= title #</h3>

</a>

by #= author #

</li>

</script>

<script>

$(document).ready(function () {

function onChage() {

$("#books").html(kendo.render(template, this.view()));

}

// create a template using the above definition

var template = kendo.template($("#template").html());

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

transport: {

// specify the XML file to read. The same as read: { url: "books.xml" }

read: "http://demos.kendoui.com/content/web/datasource/books.xml"

},

schema: {

// specify the the schema is XML

type: "xml",

// the XML element which represents a single data record

data: "/books/book",

// define the model - the object which will represent a single data record

model: {

// configure the fields of the object

fields: {

// the "title" field is mapped to the text of the "title" XML element

title: "title/text()",

// the "author" field is mapped to the text of the "author" XML element

author: "author/text()",

// the "url" field is mapped to the text of the "url" XML element

url: "url/text()",

// the "cover" field is mapped to the "id" attribute of the "book" XML element

cover: "@cover"

}

},

change: onChage

});

dataSource.read();

});

</script>

When I load the page, I don't get any data. Also, how can I see errors? Is there some code examples to display errors? Please advice. Thanks.

Gabe
