Look-up name value from XML file based on user entered number value

My form has an "Employee Number" numeric field and an "Employee Name" textfield. I want the user to enter their employee number and have JavaScript that will "look-up" that employee number in the XML data file and return the corresponding Employee Name into the employee name textfield. I need an example XML data file and form with the appropriate script.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi ,
Re-read your post, find that the col2 in List1 is people and group type column, SharePoint Lookup type column showing additional fileds option does not support people and group type column, so there should be no OOB method to achieve your
goal.
http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2012/01/sharepoint-not-all-column-types-can-be.html
I think you can try using InfoPath form to manipulate the correspond col2 value when lookup col1 from List1 then show in list view, or may use custom visual web part to achieve you goal.

    hi shanu,
    the pbm is solved, now i m able to access XXX no. in action class & i m able to validate it. The only thing which i want to know is it ok to declare static ArrayList as i have done in this code. i mean will it affect the performance or functionality of the system.
    pls have a look at the following code snippet.
    public class XMLValidator {
    static ArrayList strXXX = new ArrayList();

  • Want to retrieve null value from xml?

    i m writing this code to get the tag name and values from xml file.
    Now the problem is that
    if my xml file contain any tag whose value is not defined like
    <root>
    <firsttag>first</firsttag>
    <Second></Second><Third>third</Third>
    </root>
    Now look if second tag doesnt contain anything ,then i want to add "null" to vector,but it throws null pointer exception because second tag is empty.

    Can any one know how to do it????
    Edited by: chauhan2003 on 16 Jun, 2008 12:06 PM

    Are you sure that all currentNode have a firstChild ????
    If your node has no value, it has no child
    So i 'd change code to like look something like:
    if (currentNode.getFirstChild() != null) {
         CSWFinfo.addElement(currentNode.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
    } else {
         CSWFinfo.addElement("null");
    }

  • How to retrieve image from XML  file

    Hi All,
    I am new to XML. So any best guidance is appreciated.
    The application requirement is to display image retrived from uploaded xml file in file upload section of our application. And store that image in database.
    In my XML file , images & strings & numbers & booleans are there . I am able to save everything in database except images .
    I am using JSF, Seam & Hibernate combination. In my Hibernate entity class i took BLOB datatype for image.
    I am using following tags in my Xhtml file to display image
    <s:graphicImage value="#{hibernateentitybean.picBlobtype}" height="200" width="200">
    <s:transformImageSize width="200" height="200" />
    <s:transformImageType contentType="image/jpeg"/>
    But image is not displayed in Xhtml file
    I am using org.w3c.dom.Document for retrieving node name & corresponding value in that node in XML file.
    I am getting code like below for Image when i am logging all values from XML files in my bean class .
    x0lGQRQAAAABAAAAAAAAAFJHAQARAAAAVwBhAHQAZQByACAAbABpAGwAaQBlAHMALgBqAHAAZwAAAP/Y/+AAEEpGSUYAAQIBAGAAYAAA/+0YLl
    I want to convert this value to image. So i can convert image to bytes and store in BLOB.
    Can anyone guide me ? or any other approach .
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

  • 1.6 Dynamic Photo Gallery - alt and title attributes from xml file?

    Hi!
    I would like to attach information to my gallery images from
    the XML-file used by the gallery.
    Especially the alt and title attributes for the "img
    id="mainImage"-tag would add a bit more user friendliness.
    I found
    this
    example about adding caption to images very help full and
    everything worked just fine, thanks to clear information!
    (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602&threadi d=1306782&enterthread=y)
    Could someone come up with an example of adding title/alt
    attributes values from XML file?
    I'm sure there are quite a few out ther who would like to see
    a solution to this ;)

    You need to add your info to the XML.
    So something like:
    <photo
    path = "travel_01.jpg"
    width = "263"
    height = "350"
    title="my title"
    alt_text="Alt Text"
    thumbpath = "travel_01.jpg"
    thumbwidth = "56"
    thumbheight = "75">
    </photo>
    Then in your detailregion:
    <img src="{dsData::large/@base}{@path}" alt="{@alt_text}
    title="{@title}" />
    I am using
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_photo_album.html
    as the source of my samples...
    So, just add the data to the XML and then you will have these
    attributes available as data references.
    Hope this helps.

  • Reading from XML file is too slow

    I am trying to read some values from XML file, it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to finish reading, my xml file has about 4000 xml elements. Does anyone know this is normal or something wrong? How could make it faster?
    Thank you

    fine if it helps others... i hope NI will not be angry *fg*
    thx for your bug-report, i do not test the sub.vi until now.
    exchange the OR with an AND, solves the problem with the endless-loop, but error checking will not work (the loop only stops if no error AND no start-tag is found)
    changing the loop termination condition and putting the NOT from the error condition to the no_starttag_flag do both. correctly stops the loop when error occurs OR no further elements found.
    i attached the new sub.vi for version 7.0 and 7.1, also but some colors in the logo, for your convinience

    How to do taht in webdynpro and does any one have parser code for retriving multiple values...

    Hi,
    1) You need to use JDOM parser.
    2) The code for parsing XML using JDOM parser is readily available if you search on google.
    3) You will have to check the attribute during every parsing and then if attribute is quantity you can fetch the corresponding tags.
    4) Something similar to this:
    org.jdom.Document document = parser.build(file);
                    org.jdom.Element rootElement = document.getRootElement();
                    org.jdom.Element childElement = rootElement.getChild("file");
                    Element xmlElement = childElement.getChild("item");
                    if (xmlElement != null) {
                        List itemElementsList = xmlElement.getChildren("item1");
                        if (itemElementsList != null) {
                            Iterator iterator3 = itemElementsList.iterator();
                            while (iterator3.hasNext()) {
                                //For each group get quantity
                                Element itemElement = (Element) iterator3.next();
                                List quantityElementsList =
                                        itemElement.getChildren("quantity");
                                if (quantityElementsList != null) {
                                    Iterator iterator2 =
                                            quantityElementsList.iterator();
                                    while (iterator2.hasNext()) {
    // Your code                                                                               
    You might need to make some changes as per your rquirement. Just use this sample to understand how you need to parse the xml
    Hope it helps.

    You are not trying to read boolean.. you are trying to read a DBL.
    To read a DBL you must first write a DBL to XML.
    To read a boolean replace the DBL with a boolean

  • How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

    Hi everyone,
    So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
    So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

    iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library,  Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
    data elements that are embedded within the media files
    data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
    No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes.  Using your example:
    the value of the track number element is 1
    the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
    the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
    Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
    completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
    dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
    then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
    the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
    that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
    Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works.  There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step.  However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.
