Jquery Datepicker with XML file
- by matt
an extension of my last question, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2562986/getdate-with-jquery-datepicker ,
I am trying to use the jquery datepicker to load specific info from xml file dependent on the date selected by the user. Similar code but i am trying to load and parse an xml file to read contents of the file for the particular date.
In a perfect world the user would tap a date and below the datepicker html output would give the user specific times for the selected date instead of my last project of an image.
my probelm is nothing is loading, so my question is what am i doing wrong?
my code is as follows
<!DOCTYPE html>
<link type="text/css" href="css/ui-darkness/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
// Datepicker
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
inline: true,
minDate: new Date(2010, 1 - 1, 1),
maxDate:new Date(2010, 12 - 1, 31),
altField: '#datepicker_value',
onSelect: function(){
var day1 = $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate').getDate();
var month1 = $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate').getMonth() + 1;
var year1 = $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate').getFullYear();
var fullDate = year1 + "" + month1 + "" + day1;
//var str_output ="<img src=\"http://69.89.20.27/images/a" + fullDate +".png\" width=\"100%\"/>";
//"<h1>"+fullDate+"</h1>";
//"<img src=\"http://69.*.*.*/images/a" + fullDate +".png\"/>";
//$('#page_output').html(str_output);
var doc = loadXMLDoc('date.xml'); // loading the XML file
var el = doc.getElementsByTagName('_'+date); // retrieving the elements corrsponding to a date, eg: _20100103
var page_output = document.getElementById('page_output');
if(el.length >= 1)
{
// matched XML data found for the specified date
var dt = el[0].getElementsByTagName('date');
var great_times = el[0].getElementsByTagName('great_times');
var good_times = el[0].getElementsByTagName('good_times');
var str_output = "<h1><center>" + dt[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</center></h1><br/><br>";
