“XML in Firefox 1.5, Part 3: JavaScript meets XML in Firefox”
Subtitle: Learn how to manipulate XML in the Firefox browser using JavaScript features
Synopsis: In this third article of the XML in Firefox 1.5 series, you learn to manipulate XML with the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox. In the first two articles, XML in Firefox 1.5, Part 1: Overview of XML features and XML in Firefox 1.5, Part 2: Basic XML processing, you learned about the different XML-related facilities in Mozilla Firefox, and the basics of XML parsing, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and XSLT stylesheet invocation.
Continuing with the series this article provides examples for loading an XML file into Firefox using script, for applying XSLT to XML, and for loading XML with references to scripts. In particular the latter trick is used to display XML files with rendered hyperlinks, which is unfortunately still a bitt of a tricky corner of the XML/Web story. I elaborate more on this trick in my tutorial “Use Cascading Stylesheets to display XML, Part 2”.
