HTML data in XML

Yeh, i'm not sure if this is the right forum for this or not, but here's my problem.
I'm trying to create a program that will take specific data from a website, specifically a dictionary meaning of a word from Dictionary.com and then, with XML, display it in a text box or whatever works.
I'm sure i can figure out how to display it, but how to get just the meaning of the word and not the whole webpage with XML?

I don't think you understand what XML is. XML is a format for storing data. You can't display something in a text box with XML. You can't get data from a web page with XML. Any more than you could do those things with ASCII.

Embedding inline HTML data in XML using the mx:XML tag with < and >

What is best practice for embedding HTML within the
<mx:XML> tag? Programmatically, I can implement this
successfully:
[Bindable]
public var xmlDP:XML = <component data="<" />;
However, I get the following error if I try to store the same
data inline in an mx:XML tag, as such:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="<" />
</mx:XML>
Error #1095: XML parser failure: Unterminated attribute.
If I change the MXML tag as follows, it works fine:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="&lt;" />
</mx:XML>
Unfortunately, I also can not source the mx:XML tag to an XML
file which uses < or > codes, as it yields the same
results. This leads me to believe that the <mx:XML> tag does
not support the special character codes for < and >, but why?
Incidentally, this code also gives a 1095 error:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="<" />
</mx:XML>
This is causing an issue with my source data as it is not
hand typed into Flex, and standard XML supports the < and
> codes. I have tried a full HTML string, as shown below,
but this also generates the error:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="<b>Test</b>"
/>
</mx:XML>
Many thanks for any input you may have!

I’m generating the XML source file with
Microsoft’s XML Notepad 2007. It will encode invalid special
characters automatically. My understanding is that this is the
proper way to handle the less than symbol in a XML string, that is
to say using the < code.
With respect to the escape and un-escape methods, I am able
to successfully implement these in AS, but not in MXML. This makes
sense considering they are AS methods, but I was hoping to be able
to do something like:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="escape('<');" />
</mx:XML>
This gives the following compilation error:
The value of attribute "data" must not contain the '<'
character.
As does using the escape character as such:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="\<" />
</mx:XML>
Below is an example of what the escape character may be used
for in AS:
var myString:String = "\"";
trace(myString);
// result: "
Likewise, I can escape the < character as such:
var myString:String = escape("<");
trace(myString);
// result: %3C
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data="%3C" />
</mx:XML>
trace(un-escape(xmlDP.@data));
// result: <
As you can see, using %3C and unescaping in AS will yield the
correct result; however, this is not a practical method of
representing the data in MXML as I would have to write an AS method
to un-escape the XML string anyway, so I might as well just store
the data in AS to begin with. I was hoping for a way to source an
mx:XML object, without having to load it into ActionScript
manually. Here’s an example of the functionality I would
expect:
<mx:XML id="xmlDP">
<component data=">" />
</mx:XML>
trace(xmlDP.@data);
// result: >
Only this does not work for the less than symbol. I’m
assuming at this point that this is a bug in the Flex compiler.
Thanks again for your help troubleshooting this one!

Spry HTML Data Set Gives Empty Table (no data), Spry XML Data Set is Fine

I am working in Dreamweaver CS5 and in lesson 14 of the "Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom in a Book" and the lesson implements Spry HTML Datasets and XML Datasets. The XML is fine but the HTML dataset produces an empty table. This happens in live view or even when previewing the HTML file in any of the browsers Firefox, Google or IE. I should add that the lesson (as in all the lessons) has a "finished copy file" prepared by the authors to show what things will look like in the end (so it is a file NOT produced by me but included on the CD with the book), and that file also produces the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver, the lessons CD and spent all day trying to figure out why and no clues at all yet. All my browser settings look fine as for allowing content.
ANY CLUES would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
First, thank you very much for your quick response and help.
I am not sure what you mean by upload the site to a server so you can look. I am working locally in Dreamweaver on the book's exercise. So I figured you may mean CS Live. What a clumsy operation that is. In any case, they said the links below will work for ANYBODY that clicks them! What is especially baffling here is that it seems so straighforward. The file "events_finished.html" (the 1st link below) is everything but the data, produced by the author of "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom In A Book" in lesson 14. All paths should be correct. The file referenced by "Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet", "html-data_finished.html" (the data and the 2nd link below) is in the same directory as the first file, all JavaScript files referenced exist and are in their denoted "SpryAssets" folder. As seen in the "screenShot", the HTML dataset table is empty with placeholders; the XMLDataSet is fine and all data nicely represented.
I hope this helps and thanks for all help and any clues you can provide.

STATIC "HTML Data Set Photo Gallery" with CAPTIONS

Because of search engines and validation I would really like to use the STATIC "HTML Data Set Photo Gallery" http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery_pe/static/china.html.
But I definitely need captions for the Photos. I found possibilities to add them via XML, but not for the HTML-Version.
As far as I got I think I have to edit this function from "gallery_hds.js" and add some RegEx, to extract caption text.
function PhotosFilter(ds, row, rowIndex)
    var tnStr = row.thumbimg;
    if (tnStr)
        row.path = tnStr.replace(/.*<a[^>]*href="?([^"]*)"?.*/i, "$1");
        row.thumbpath = tnStr.replace(/.*<img[^>]*src="?([^"]*)"?.*/i, "$1");
    return row;
In the following rows within the html-document
<span class="thumbnail"><a href="../../gallery/galleries/paris/images/paris_02.jpg"><img src="../../gallery/galleries/paris/thumbnails/paris_02.jpg" alt="paris_02.jpg" /></a></span>
I would insert text before the closing span-tag (or before the closing a-tag?) - like so
<span class="thumbnail"><a href="../../gallery/galleries/paris/images/paris_02.jpg"><img src="../../gallery/galleries/paris/thumbnails/paris_02.jpg" alt="paris_02.jpg" /></a>Here is some HTML Text</span>
This text must be extracted via RegEx - similar to the rows within the if-Statement of the upper mentioned function "PhotosFilter". But here my RegEx-knowledge is definitely to short!
Thank you very much in advance for any help or suggestion.

Spry Photo Gallery Html Data Set InLine Content

To whom that may know.
I, the confused have wasted several long hours trying to
understand how adobe did this.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery_pe/static_hd/china.html
Ok, before that you think I am a total idiot. Please look at
the code. I have made this page several time using program like
photoshop, fireworks and dreamweaver....all using xml. This page
uses html data set that is on the page. Which after looking and
many example...all the example consist of a data table. I have
looked at the javascript for many files in the code. I even
downloaded their actual js files to see if they change something. I
am assuming that they are using css to place the data to read...I
just don't see where the "ds1" statement comes into play when you
look at this code. I thank you all in advance for your time and
expert opinions.
P.S. My sample page does show all the thumbnails and links
and after I downloaded their css it does show the background to be
black. But nothing else shows.

Problem in accessing HTML data

Hi Frens,
I m getting some html data from my servlet. But From Server
it is sending the data in html format. There, It is sending the
data in CDATA format. Here I get some problem in displaying the
data in Flex. I have following questions:
1. How can I parse that XML data into HTML data, Since that
data comes from many mail servers, I don't have idea, whether they
are properly formatted or not. I am getting this data in xml
format. How can i convert it back to HTML format?
2. The 2nd Problem is that it may contain some images also,
So will component is suitable for me to display the data? Example
is a mail, If it has some html data, along with images. Which
component is suitable for this?
Please help to get out this problem.
Thks

If I knew a data service was returning HTML to me, I would
use resultFormat="text" and just accept the data as-is. Then you
can assign it to the htmlText property of a TextArea.
The Flash Player has limited HTML capabilities. It can
display images using the <img> HTML tag.
Depending on your needs you might want to look at Apollo
which has an HTML UI component which can display real, complete
HTML.

Involve more than one HTML data set.

Hello,
I am building a website and using spry data sets for it. I need to have opportunity to involve more than one data set. In this sample found exactly what I need - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/SDG/help.html?content=WSFC985AA5-C5E9-4266-ACE0-62299 A0E0B70.html but in my case I am using HTML data set not the XML. In all browsers except IE all seems to work fine, but I get an Spry debugger error - Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet: 'garden2' is not a valid element ID. 'garden2' is a id for table that I am using as HTML data source. It seems that dreamweaver ain't too supporting this thing with HTML as in that sample, because when i try to open this Data set in bindings panel I get an error - Invalid URL schema. My idea is that , one HTML data set contains the name list of the products categories and unique url for each product name , and this unique url shows path for other HTML data set for each product, which contains product list for each category. Link to the part of my website where I am trying to do this stuff http://www.varpa.eu/garden.html?row=0 .
So how can I get rid of the Spry debugger error and make it work in IE ?
Thank you,
Richard.

I found why page wasn't working on IE,I had not just closed one <tr> tag in HTML data set file. But spry debugger error still occurs in Opera , Safari , Chrome and Dreamweaver live view and I can't still open the second second data set in bindings panel.To hide this <div> with spry debugger error, I just attached style to ir visibility : hidden; . But it's still very weird though that adobe isn't supporting this option for HTML data set, but supports only for XML , isn't it ?
Richard.

Flilter webpart to read the data from XML template

Hi
Is there any out of the box webpart to read data from xml file for filtering in sharepoint 2010.
The filter dialog look like following functionality and allow to select only one value.
.Paretn1
     chiild1
     child2
.Parent2
    child1
     child2
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to read data from xml file with the out of the box web part.
There is no out of the box web part for us to read the data from the xml file in SharePoint 2010.
However, you can create your own custom web part to achieve it.
There are some articles about the read the xml file, you can have a look at them.

Google index external HTML data sets?

I know one of the workarounds to have Google properly index
dynamic content is to use HTML data sets, but I'm unclear about one
thing. Does this only work if you have the HTML data set table on
the same page you use it with, or does it also work with external
HTML data sets?
For instance, will Google have a problem indexing if I use a
external HTML data set like:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<div spry:region="educationLinks" id="linksContainer"
class="SpryHiddenRegion">
<ul spry:repeatchildren="educationLinks"
class="unorderedLinkList">
<li><a href="{url}"
target="_blank">{name}</a> - {description}</li>
</ul>

</div>

I'm doing the same exact thing using external HTML data sets
instead of XML. It is true that spiders will not index the external
page based on the Spry data you noted. My solution will be to
create a sitemap.xml page and submit it to the search engines. That
sitemap.xml file will contain all the pages in your site and the
spiders will use it as a central point to crawl all of those pages
specified within. So, I will just include my externally referenced
files in the sitemap.xml file.
Checkout
http://www.sitemap.org for more
information on that.
