Question

I want to create a list from a php xml file, so I read some tutorials and put together this:

$.blockUI();

           $.get('venuesxml.php', function (data) {

                $('#MenuList').append("<p><label><strong>Id</strong></label>
                                     <label><strong>venue type</strong></label></p>");

                $(data).find('marker').each(function () {

                    $('#MenuList').append("<p><label>" +

                    $(this).find('ID').text() + "</label><label>" +

                    $(this).find('venue_type').text() + "</label></p>");

                });

            });

            $.unblockUI();

However I noticed that this will only work if the xml looks like this:

<markers>
  <marker>

    <ID>1</ID>

    <venue_type>2</Name>

  </marker>
</markers>

However it looks like this:

<markers>
     <marker id="67" venue_type="2"/>
</markers>

How would I get the data in this case?
Thanks

Answer 1

You want to retrieve the XML attributes instead of nodes within <marker>

Try replacing $(this).find('ID').text() with $(this).attr('id') and $(this).find('venue_type').text() with $(this).attr('venue_type')
