Question

I have thousands of xml files with title and their description in different xml files.
Example:

<entertainment id="12">

        <title>who is your favorite star?</title>
        <description>
               <male>Brad Pitt</male>
                   <female>Angelina Jolie</female>
            </description>
 </entertainment>

I want to create a web page using minidom in python to list all the titles having links to their answer page.

from xml.dom import minidom

doc = minidom.parse('entertainment.xml')
questions = doc.getElementsByTagName('entertainment')
print "<ul><h1>Star Questions</h1>"
for n in questions:
    print "<li>" + n.toxml() +"</li>";
print "</ul>";

I have tried writing this code, which list the titles. But couldn’t make a link to the title to it’s description page. And in that short description page, for example “Brad Pitt”, i want to create a link and extract data from another xml file which has more information about Brad Pitt.

I am new to python, so not getting idea to make a link.

Answer 1

The way that you want to achieve to your tag is wrong.
This is the correct hierarchy:

doc.getElementsByTagName('entertainment')[0].getElementsByTagName('title')[0].toxml()
