JavaScript, jQuery, XML - if statement not executing for unknown reason
- by Jack Roscoe
Hi,
I have a 'for' loop which extracts data from an XML document and adds it into some JavaScript objects, each time the loop executes I want it to run a certain function depending on the value of the attribute 'typ' which is being retrieved from the xml.
Currently, the data from the XML is successfully being parsed, which is proven by the first 'alert' you can see which produces the correct value.
However, neither of the 'alert' lines in the 'if' statement lower down are being executed and as a result I cannot test the 'ctyp3' function which is supposed to be called.
Where have I gone wrong?
for (j=0; j<arrayIds.length; j++)
{
$(xml).find("C[ID='" + arrayIds[j] + "']").each(function(){
// pass values
questions[j] = {
typ: $(this).attr('typ'),
width: $(this).find("I").attr('wid'),
height: $(this).find("I").attr('hei'),
x: $(this).find("I").attr('x'),
y: $(this).find("I").attr('x'),
baC: $(this).find("I").attr('baC'),
boC: $(this).find("I").attr('boC'),
boW: $(this).find("I").attr('boW')
}
alert($(this).attr('typ'));
if ($(this).attr('typ') == '3')
{
ctyp3(x,y,width,height,baC);
alert('pass');
} else {
// Add here
alert('fail');
}
});
}
