XML on datasource not working...

[Gabriel]

Here is my test HTML page (only relevant to the problem):

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

 

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

                <li class="book">

                    <h3>#= title #</h3>

                    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: {

                            read: "filters.xml"

                        },

                        schema: {

                            // specify the the schema is XML

                            type: "xml",

                            data: "/Filters/Filter",

                            model: {

                                fields: {

                                    title: "title/text()",

                                    author: "@Id",

                                    url: "info/text()"

                                }

                            }

                        },

                        change: onChage

                    });

 

                    dataSource.read();

                });

            </script>

and here is my XML file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

-<Filters> -<Filter Id="drwho"> <Collection>drwho</Collection> <Title>Favourite Doctor</Title> <Info>link_to_popup_info.html</Info> <Image>drwho.png</Image> </Filter> -<Filter Id="poo"> <Collection>poop</Collection> <Title>smell that?</Title> <Info>link_to_popup_info.html</Info> <Image>poop.png</Image> </Filter> </Filters>

It doesn't work. I've also noticed if I overwrite the books.xml file in the sample line by line it will work. Other than that (which is stupid) I have no idea why the code refuses to run. The code is from the xml-data.html file.

Any ideas?

Hello Gabriel,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<Filters> -<Filter Id="drwho"> <Collection>drwho</Collection> <Title>Favourite Doctor</Title> <Info>link_to_popup_info.html</Info> <Image>drwho.png</Image> </Filter> -<Filter Id="poo"> <Collection>poop</Collection> <Title>smell that?</Title> <Info>link_to_popup_info.html</Info> <Image>poop.png</Image> </Filter> </Filters>

The dashes in the XML file are confusing the datasource parsing.

Thanks. I copied the XML data when viewing in IE. There are not dashes in the actual file. Any ideas?

Hello Gabriel,

 The fields definition are case sensitive. In your case, it should be something like

fields: {
                     title: "Title/text()",
                     author: "@Id",
                     url: "info/text()"
                 }

All the best,
