I am working with the XML code shown below. I have already requested and retrieved the code. I need to write a function that will: 1) receive the inputted code 2) dynamically return the subnational2-code in the database that corresponds with the subnational1-code="US-MI" and the tag value "Kent"
<result>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-TX" subnational2-code="US-TX-263">Kent</location>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-VA" subnational2-code="US-VA-127">New Kent</location>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-DE" subnational2-code="US-DE-001">Kent</location>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-KY" subnational2-code="US-KY-117">Kenton</location>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-MD" subnational2-code="US-MD-029">Kent</location>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-MI" subnational2-code="US-MI-081">Kent</location>
<location country-code="US" subnational1-code="US-RI" subnational2-code="US-RI-003">Kent</location>
<location country-code="CA" subnational1-code="CA-NB" subnational2-code="CA-NB-KE">Kent</location>
<location country-code="CA" subnational1-code="CA-ON" subnational2-code="CA-ON-KT">Chatham-Kent</location>
<location country-code="GB" subnational1-code="GB-ENG" subnational2-code="GB-ENG-KEN">Kent</location>
</result>
The following is code I have either used in the past (getData worked), or am trying to figure out. This does not necessarily have to be used:
var subnational1-code="US-MI";
var subnational2-name="Kent";
var itemList = response.getElementsByTagName("result");
for(i=0;i<itemList.length){
var d = getData(itemList.item(i));
// What code goes here??
// If (subnational2-value==subnational2-name&&subnational1-valuue=="US-MI");
}
function getData(n) {
var d = new Object();
var nodeList = n.childNodes;
for (var j = 0; j < nodeList.length ; j++) {
var node = nodeList.item(j);
d[node.nodeName] = node.firstChild.nodeValue;
} return d;
}
The output in this case should be:
var output = "US-MI-081";
I greatly appreciate your help. +1 and more to anybody who can provide me with a working function! Thanks in advance!!
Not sure if this is entirely what you where looking for, but here is a javascript way to parse it out. Hopefully this will work for you.
