Paragraph Formatting in XML Data Sets

Got a client I'm currently doing a Spry page for and he's got
a lot of copy he wants to inject in his tooltips. I'm using the XML
Datasets and they're working pretty good but one problem is he's
got all this copy in paragraphs. So I stick it all in my
<copy> tag in my .xml file but I can't accept paragraph or
line breaks. If I add a <p> or anything like it, the XML is
no longer valid and is screwed up. So how can I add paragraph
formatting to these large chunks of XML?

I have an online example:
http://www.pearlmanpr.com/perspective_test.html
The spBlog.xml file contains test junk.  If I put the <[[CDATA....]]> inside the BlogEntry/BlogText tag it doesn't work at all.
http://www.pearlmanpr.com/perspective_test_2.html
If I use it without the <[[CDATA..]] it doesnt work either.
http://www.pearlmanpr.com/perspective_test_3.html
If I use it without any <> within the tag it sort of works (still needs to be aligned).

  • Formatting tags in xml data set used for spry region

    I am trying to put <p>,,,</p> tags in my xml data set but they cause the field to not load. For example I would like to create an xml file as follows:
    <blog>
          <blogentry>
              <blogdate>Jan 2009</blogdate>
              <blogtitle>January Blog</blogtitle>
              <blogtext><p> this is a paragraph</p>
    <p>and so is this</p>
              </blogtext>
         </blogentry>
    </blog>
    When I do this I don't get anything in the spry region.  If I remove the <p>,</p> tabs it works.
    Is there anyway to do this (not just with <p> but with any tags ... ie. tables, etc.).
    Thanks/Hal

  • Spry Tables and Xml Data Sets viewed in IE7

    Has anyone ever run into a problem with Spry Tables and Xml
    Data Sets viewed in IE7? Work fine in IE6 and Firefox, but get the
    error "exception caught while loading feed.xml: [object Error]" in
    IE 7. Any ideas?
    Attached is the xml I'm using.
    Thanks

    I came looking for the answer to this question. I could not
    find an answer. Eventually I found it the answer that worked for
    me, a graphic designer with not much experience in xml.
    The following url provided an errata file in PDF format:
    www.peachpit.com/dwcs3cib
    which includes the following addendum to the incomplete
    instructions in the book i was using to learn about spry:
    "If Internet Explorer 7 is your primary browser, you'll nee
    to take some extra steps to view spry dynamic content locally.
    First, your site must be within the local server webroot; be sure
    your Lessons folder is stored within the Inetpub>wwwroot folder.
    Next, double-click the site name in the files panel to open the
    Site Definition dialogue. Click the Testing Server category; from
    the Access List choose Local/Network. Click Okay to close the Site
    Definition dialogue. Now, when you preview your page with Internet
    Explorer, your local Web server (localhost) serves the page as
    designed."
    Horray for me! Now i can move on from here and actually get
    some work done!

  • XML Data Sets and IE8

    I have an issue with Spry XML Data sets that is driving me nuts.
    The setup is quite straightforward. I have a PHP script which submits a SOAP request, the result of which is pure XML. I echo this XML out as the result of the script.
    I have another page on which is one or more Spry XML Data Sets. These data sets use the previous script as the source. I know this works OK because when i 'Get Schema' in the XML dataset dialog in Dreamweaver, the schema is properly displayed. This page also has a Spry Table on it, which uses the dataset as the source. There is nothing else on the page at all.
    Now, when I preview this page in Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari, it displays fine. However, when I preview it in IE, the table briefly flashes up then disappears. A quick look at the source of the page shows the HTML all laid out very licely, but the Spry fields still show with their placeholders (e.g. {Balance}) instead of the actual value. Im left with a totally blank page in IE.
    I have tried running in compatibility mode with no effect. I found a posting on Experts Exchange (yuk!) where someone else was having the problem but this turned out to bedue to badly formed XML. I have run my XML though XMLSpy and several online validators and it checks out every time.
    Any ideas? I am slowly losing the will to live....

    Hi,
    I'm trying to debug the same problem...I think.The pages work in firefox on PC & MAC but stop with the {data_name} in IE on both PC & MAC.
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 with ADDT. I've read the posts about adding the content-type to my file that ADDT created for me just before the XMLExport, so I've added that to the get_menu_1_info.php file (see lines 42-46). I've peeked into the XMLExport.class.php file to see that the Execute function is supposedly already sending the header info (see line 223). But I'm not getting the data into IE.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    here's where you can see the page:
    https://hbblearning.org/Takv3uMYsX7cVK5eRo/newcomer_info.html
    here's where I generate the xml file to be consumed:

  • XML Data Set with Spry Slides - Please Help

    Hi, I'm trying to combine XML Data Set with sliding tabs.
    I've created two keys responsible for sliding the tabs:
    <a id="previous" href="#"
    onclick="sp1.showPreviousPanel();">Previous</a>
    <a id="next" href="#"
    onclick="sp1.showNextPanel();">Next</a>
    Then XML Data Set is used to populate the tabs, but only a
    single tab remains visible, and a "Next/Previous" buttons are used
    to move to the next tab. And this is where the problem arises.
    The problem is that, every time I refreash the gallery or
    load it for the first time, I have to press TWICE the "Next" button
    to move to the next image. After that, its all fine, and slides
    well. It's only the FIRST time when loaded.
    Please help.

  • Build a table based on XML data set with Spry

    Hi there,
    I'm new to spry technology therefore forgive any basic question of mine.
    I'm trying to fill content in a table based on XML data set values but nothing is shown :-(
    here is my code.... any suggestion? pls tell me where I'm wrong.
    Thank you in advance
    <script src="SpryAssets/xpath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var uscite = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/Calendario 2011.xml", "csv_data_records/record", {sortOnLoad: "Date", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending"});
    uscite.setColumnType("Date", "date");
    uscite.setColumnType("km", "number");
    </script>
    <div class="RankContainer" id="UsciteDiv" spry:region="uscite" >
              <table width="100%" border="0" class="RankTable">
                <tr>
                  <th width="10%" scope="col" spry:sort="Date">Data</th>

                </tr>
                <tr>
                   <script type="text/javascript">
           var rows = uscite.getData();
        for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
         if (rows[i]["Mappa"].startsWith("/"))
          rowContent = "<td> si </td>";
         else
              rowContent = "<td> no </td>";
         document.write("<td>{Date}</td>");
         document.write("<td>"+rowContent+"</td>");
         document.write("<td>{km}</td>");

          </script>
               </tr>

    Sure this is how it should work (except that no anchor tag shall be present for Destinazione whereas Mappa has no real value in)

  • Spry xml data set, accessing specific rows

    Hello. I've been trying to build a website using Spry XML
    Data Sets, and while I've accomplished my goals for now, I don't
    think the solution I came up with is the best.
    The website consists of several areas that show projects.
    Each project has several fields that are to be filled with content
    retrieved from the xml files, but the projects are not all exactly
    alike and some have specific fields that others don't require.
    All the info is available in several languages, so for now
    I've created an xml file for each one. An xml file could be like
    Code Part1. (Why I can't add several code snippets along the post
    baffles me. I mean, I can't, right?)
    This dataset, for simplicity purposes, is not dependent on
    the language (Code Part2).
    And then there are the content areas (Code Part3).
    So as you see, each project has its own structure. This makes
    using spry:repeat a not very effective method for filling in all
    the content. Ideally I should be able to access each row in the
    dataset through some sort of value, like id, or one of its
    children's values. The ds_RowID depends on the row order, so unless
    there's another way to use it, it doesn't solve my problem.
    Here's what I've come up with (Code Part4).
    This works (in FF3 OSX, at least), although there are some
    other problems that might make it necessary to create a spry:region
    (or at least use spry:repeat) for each field. Anyway, it sounds
    silly and wasteful to go through every row of the dataset everytime
    for each of the fields that need to be filled.
    My hope is that I'm ignorant of some much better method of
    achieving my goals, something more direct and elegant.
    Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you very much in
    advance.

    Hi there
    You are indeed absolutely correct a spry region should have been shown, my appologise for that, the code is wrapped in a standard spry region.
    That being said i have used a work around in the SQL SELECT statement of the xmlExportObj, Recordset to find the information required without having to do any IF, ELSE on the page.
    Many thanks for your reply and for pointing out my mistake in how I had presented my question.
    My next question is to follow seperately
    Regards
    Ray

  • Spry XML data set and dynamic post variables

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an XML data set that has dynamic post
    variables.
    Everytime something is pressed on the page a variable changes
    and I then want to reload the XML data set using the new variable.
    I know I can just pull in an XML with all possible variables
    and filter client side but this would make it way too large.
    Does anyone know what I may need to do.
    I tried this:
    var myVar = 0;
    var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet (
    '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'top' , { method: 'POST' ,
    postData: sid=ajaja21&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=' . myVar ,
    subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted:
    "true", sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad:
    "descending", useCache: false, loadInterval: 10000 } );
    onclick="myVar=1";
    But the script doesn't understand the post variables sent (it
    does when I remove the . myVar part and put in a static value). I
    think it isn't sending that dynamic variable with the post
    variables.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    Well I had it working when I stripped back everything and
    just had the dss data set and a single onclick function, but now
    that I put it back together it hash foobared again.
    Here are the relevant bits of code that I've changed.
    The function to change server id:
    //function to run when changing the server id
    function changeServer ( sid ) {
    //set the url to use the current server id
    dss.setURL = ( '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , { method:
    'POST' , postData:
    'sid=7gv1m3vjvagfl7h7qeefb8iodj8evhmb&ip=127.0.0.1&cid='+sid
    //force a reload of the server data
    dss.loadData();
    The inital load of the data set
    var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet (
    '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'yams' , { method: 'POST' ,
    postData:
    'sid=7gv1m3vjvagfl7h7qeefb8iodj8evhmb&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=0' ,
    subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted:
    "true", sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad:
    "descending", useCache: false, loadInterval: 10000 } );
    And the part that changes the server id
    <td align="left" style="cursor:default; width:174px;"
    onclick="changeServer({dsv::servers/server/@id})">{dsv::servers/server/name}</td>
    I checked that the function is receiving the correct server
    id and I even tried hard coding the cid variable to 2 in the change
    function but it still wasn't changing on the server side.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Including HTML tags in Spry XML data sets

    How does one add HTML tags to Spry XML data sets so that the displayed items include that markup?
    For example, I might want to bold-face words within XML data items. I have tried adding the markup, but instead of seeing, for example:
    This is bold face
    in the Spry table, I see:
    This is <b>bold</b> face
    I have tried using CDATA elements in the XML to no avail.

    Set the data type for the column as per
    var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("myData.xml", "rows/row");
    ds1.setColumnType("myColumn", "html");

  • Designing a 'sample time feed' for Spry XML Data Set

    Hi!
    Often when I call a Spry XML Data Set I find I can't get the
    schema. If offers you the option to design a sample time feed but
    doesn't give you enough info to be able to even guess how to do
    this.
    Is the answer in modifying that php line somehow?
    Any guidance would be much appreciated!
    Mike

    The idea for Design Time XML is that you can use a static XML
    file instead of a dynamic source, in case you don't have access to
    the real data. You can use the Design Time XML to make the query
    and design the page.
    This gives you access to the data references for designing
    the page.
    If you are getting schema errors, the numbers that the dialog
    shows is the line number and character number (1,1)
    You should be able to see the XML directly in the browser. If
    you can, then DW should be able to consume it.

  • Tooltip with xml data set

    I have posted this over on the Spry forum but wonder if someone else has had a similar issue and found a solution as I am trying to find the answer to this quickly if possible; I want to use a tooltip with an xml data set.
    I have an xml data set of events and within it there is a tooltip element. How can I get another element to act as a trigger so my tooltip appears when I mouseover the element?
    My data set is displaying correctly. I'm trying to get the event title element to act as the trigger and the code that I have so far:
    <div spry:region="eventsDS">
            <table width="533">
              <tr>
                <th width="108" spry:sort="date">Date</th>
                <th width="105" spry:sort="title">Title</th>
                <th width="98" spry:sort="location">Location</th>
                <th width="202" spry:sort="price">Price</th>
              </tr>
              <tr spry:repeat="eventsDS">
                <td>{date}</td>
                <td><a href="#tooltiptrigger">{title}</a></td>
                <td>{location}</td>
                <td>{price}</td>
              </tr>

          <script type="text/javascript">
    var sprytooltip = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip("sprytooltip", "#tooltiptrigger");
          </script>

    I see & chars in your xml, try wrapping it in <[CDATA[

    <description> <[CDATA[Beer (B), Beer & Wine (BW)
    or Beer, Wine & Liquor (BWL)<br />
    Off sale only, no consumption on the licensed
    premises]]></description>
    Also if check out your xml in firefox, you will see that it
    shows a parsing error, most likely caused by the issue i addressed

  • XML Data Set selection by attribute?

    I am new to Spry and was trying to work with the XML Data Set
    feature. I have an XML file with the schema listed below. I wanted
    to know if it were possible to only grab the data from this XML
    file if it matches a certain type? For example, grab data from
    seminarType where @type="condition1"? Is this able to be done or
    will I have to generate an XML file for each type? My goals was to
    have one large file to grab data from.
    <seminars>
    <seminarType type="">
    <seminarSession type="">
    <seminar>
    <location><![CDATA[]]></location>
    <date></date>
    <time></time>
    <seats></seats>
    <directions><![CDATA[]]></directions>
    </seminar>
    </seminarSession>
    </seminarType>
    </seminars>

    The seminar node contains all the information I want to grab.
    I need to be able to select those nodes based off seminarType @type
    and then seminarSession @type.
    Example:
    <seminars>
    <seminarType type="type1">
    <seminarSession type="session1">
    <seminar>
    <location><![CDATA[location]]></location>
    <date>12-12-2007</date>
    <time>14:00</time>
    <seats>23</seats>
    <directions><![CDATA[mapquest
    directions]]></directions>
    </seminar>
    </seminarSession>
    <seminarSession type="session2">
    <seminar>
    <location><![CDATA[location]]></location>
    <date>10-08-2007</date>
    <time>10:00</time>
    <seats>15</seats>
    <directions><![CDATA[mapquest
    directions]]></directions>
    </seminar>
    </seminarSession>
    </seminarType>
    </seminars>
    So I would want to grab all the session nodes where
    seminarType @type="type1" and seminarSession @type="session1"
    Does this help?

  • Date Format for Spry data set sort

    Hi
    Just feeling my way through the use of Spry Datasets for the
    first time and have a couple of issues hopefully someone with more
    knowledge of it than me know the answer to.
    I had an issue with my Spry Dataset initially that it would
    not work in ie7 but was OK in FF3.
    After some mucking round I realised the error I was getting -
    albeit obscure in IE was telling me it was a date format issue in
    my data set.
    The db data I am playing with here is fairly simple: I have a
    couple of text fields, an integer field that contains the
    unixtimestamp of the entry (its a simple diary application) and a
    formal date field that holds the same date in mysql's date format.
    When I display the date in the dataset I do so in the format
    "23rd May 2009" (as an example)- I code this using phps date
    function in my xml query.
    I had set this field to date format in the Spry dataset
    conditions but IE seems to barf on this- I can change it to
    textstring but then my sort is done on Alpha/Numeric sort of the
    first character in the date field which is rubbish.
    I only display the date in this format and one of the other
    text fields in my dataset- the unixdate is for programmatic
    purposes not general display so I cannot sort on this field if its
    invisible. How can I acheive a date based sort with this set up- or
    what date formats does Spry code prefer for date sorts? (My client
    wants the date to show as I have explained). Many thanks. I have a
    second query which I will post separately!

    I am sorry, but you aren't following my explanation. English

    You can take a look at this page:
    http://visual.unipv.it/tmt_calendar/admin/reports/events.cfm
    Even if all the dates here are incidentally using the
    yyyy-mm-dd format, the
    dataset display the date from the "start_date_formatted"
    field:
    <td><a href="javascript:"
    onclick="showUpdate('{event_id}')">{start_date_formatted}</a></td>
    But uses another field to sort the table:
    <th scope="col" spry:sort="start_date">Start
    date</th>
    You can have the same date, using two different formats,
    inside two,
    separated dataset fields. One is used for display, the other
    one is used for
    sort.
    You may try to read again my previous explanations, look at
    the code in the
    page above and see if you get the idea.

  • Help with Spry Detail Regions, XML Data Sets, for IMG gallery

    Hello,
    I'm working on a site for a friend of mine, a photo gallery. You can see the gallery here, it's a temporary one I'm working on
    http://www.emiliajozefa.com/a_index.html
    Here are some important parts of my code:
    //initially load these data sets. the function will be called by the links to update components later<script type="text/javascript">
         var intNumPhoto = 0;
         dsGallery = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/ride/photo");
         dsNav = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/ride");
         function updateSpryComponents(galleryDir){
              alert("updating spry components for " + galleryDir);
              intNumPhoto = 0;
              dsGallery = Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/" + galleryDir + "/photo");
              dsNav = Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("photofile.xml", "galleries/" + galleryDir);
              dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);
              //document.getElementById('nav').innerHTML='<H1>'+enlarge.inp.value+'</H1>';
              document.getElementById('nav').innerHTML=
              "<span spry:detailregion = 'dsGallery'>
             <a href = 'javascript:' onclick = 'if(intNumPhoto > 0){intNumPhoto -= 1}; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);'>&lt;</a> {@id} / </span>
             <span spry:detailregion = 'dsNav'>{@numPhotos}
             <a href = 'javascript:' onclick = 'if(intNumPhoto < ({@numPhotos} - 1)){intNumPhoto += 1; }; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);'>&gt;</a>
             </span>";
    </script> <--- later ----><!-- SIDEBAR NAV. When link i clicked, set DataSet to the location of the new gallery -->
         <div id = "sideBarNav">
             <a href = "javascript:" onclick ='updateSpryComponents('ride');">Tannersville</a>
                <br />
              <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "updateSpryComponents('dive');">Dive</a>
            <br />
              <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "updateSpryComponents('poland');">Poland</a>
            <br />
              <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "updateSpryComponents('alaska');">Alaska</a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id = "content2">
         <!-- PHOTO CONTAINER I think I somehow need to refresh this section of the code to reload new data-->
         <div id = "fotoContainer" spry:detailregion="dsGallery"><img src = "photos/{@path}" width = "{@width}" height = "{@height}"/></div>
         <!-- IMAGE NAVIGATION -->
         <div id = "nav">       
             <span spry:detailregion = "dsGallery" id = "galSpan">
             <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "if(intNumPhoto > 0){intNumPhoto -= 1}; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);">&lt;</a> {@id} / </span>
             <span spry:detailregion = "dsNav" id = "navSpan">{@numPhotos}
             <a href = "javascript:" onclick = "if(intNumPhoto < ({@numPhotos} - 1)){intNumPhoto += 1; }; dsGallery.setCurrentRow(intNumPhoto);">&gt;</a>
             </span>
         </div>
    You could view source there to get the code. Here is what I believe is my problem
    I'm trying to automate the site so that when you click on one of the links on the left, without refreshing the page, the paths to the galleries xml file changes, and the spry Detail Regions (1 for the images, 1 for the navigation - left and right arrows). I think the problem is that once the link changes the set and calls my updateSpryComponenets() function, the detail regions need to be refreshed. I'm currently trying to solve this by dynamically rewriting the HTML thru .innterHTML, everytime I call updateSpryComponents().There may also be a problem in the Javascript function updateSpryControllers because if I put the alert after the spry calls, I never get the alert
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Update:
    Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
    "SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
    So I replaced it with what I originally had.
    "SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
    But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(
