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:

here's where I generate the xml file to be consumed:

I've attached the files for you to see.

Spry Data Sets and IE8

Hi, I Currently have a glossary using the Spry Tabbed Panels with Spry Data Sets embedded in each tab. I had it working great in pre IE8.
Once we upgraded to IE8 it just wont load or display the data sets in the tabs. Below is the page code. (I used the JS straight from the Spry Framework no alterations, except in the CSS files). Any help would be great =).

Thanks Gramps.
I totally forgot about the Xpath filtering.

Spry Data Sets and IE8
A quick fix: add the following to your document
A better fix: reduce the number of datasets to just one and use Xpath
filtering triggered by an onclick event, as in clicking the relevant tab.

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

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

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!

Spry Data Sets and IE7 and IE8

Whiile in IE 7 or IE 8, my spry data set is not displaying
the data. However, using the Firefox browser, you can see the data
within the spry data set. For some reason unbeknownst to me, IE 7
and IE 8 in not allowing the spry data set to display the necessary
data. Is there a fix to this issue? Can changing or modifying the
HTML code help make the connection between the spry data set and
its data in IE 7 and IE 8? Any assistance would be helpful. Thank
you.
To view my site where the problem is at, go to
http://www.hrconsortium.net/hrworkshops.htm

It gags in IE because you are saying that the Course_Date
column is a date, but you have an "Open" word in the date column
instead of a date. You can work around the problem by creating a
custom column that replaces the "Open" keyword with a date in the
past or the future, depending on where you want it to land when
sorting (top or bottom). Then, leave your Course_Date column as a
"string" column type, and set the new custom column to the date
column type. Try something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

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.
Here's the full code:
<div id="images_gal" >
///////////////////////////////////////// The menu - the

Anyone has any idea why I need a DOUBLE Click to start moving
the sliding panels?
I've just completed two tutorials by Don Booth.
1/Building a Spry Sliding Panels widget
2/Building a photo album with the Spry framework
But what I try to COMBINE them - display the photos in
sliding panels, I also need to DOUBLE click the "next" buton before
it starts scrolling.
Why is that Double Click needed? Help Please.

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>
              <th width="20%" scope="col">Destinazione</th>
              <th width="5%" scope="col">KM</th>
              <th width="35%" scope="col">Percorso</th>
              <th width="30%" scope="col">Breve</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>");
     document.write("<td>{Percorso}</td>");
     document.write("<td>{Breve}</td>");
      </script>
           </tr>
          </table>
       </div>

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

and this is the non working page

Illustrator Data Sets and Variables Help Please

Hi, how's everyone doing? I need a little help with Data Sets and Variables, or at least i believe that's what i need help with. Ultimately i am trying to run an action on a batch of files.
I have an eps file with two images placed side by side. They are the same image. I am trying to replace both images and save the file accordingly. Trying to make this happen using a bunch of files. All the files can be in one folder and will be the same size.
I hope this make sense and what i need done is doable.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure a I read you correctly but if I understand you
what you have to do is make the first two images as dynamic variables using the variable panel and save it as a data set
then replace those two images and save those as a data set
So now you have data set one and two.
You can save that as an variable library (xml)and that can be loaded into other documents.
The question is can it be actioned?
It can be scripted and do you want the same two images to replace the same two image in each document.
I think you really have to tell us more.

Secret data sets and variables in photoshop elements.

In photoshop elements 4 thru 8, you can use data sets
and variables, with the actions recorded for them in
photoshop and then installed into photoshop elements.
They work exactly like they do in photoshop and in fact
there is already a menu item in photoshop elements,
under in export menu, called export data sets as files.

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

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).

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>
        </table>
      </div>
      <div class="tooltipContent" id="sprytooltip" spry:detailregion="eventsDS">{tooltip}</div>
<p><a href="#top">back to top</a></p>
      <script type="text/javascript">
var sprytooltip = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip("sprytooltip", "#tooltiptrigger");
      </script>

I see & chars in your xml, try wrapping it in <[CDATA[
]> tags like this:
<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
above.

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?

Spry XML Data Set

I have made a basic XML file that gets written to from the
inputs of a form. All the information is written in the XML file
correctly, but when the data is inserted, the new data doesnt
display in the Spry table (evan with DW closed). I have a page for
the form and a page to display All the data. The only way i can get
the table to show the updated data is to close the browser and
reopen. After i insert the data to the file i get the "File has
been modified outside of Dreamweaver, Reload it" prompt. Is there a
setting i should change? My XML file is in the root folder of my
site on the local machine, i am using Vista Ultimate and
ASP.

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
