Hi All

I am I progress of making a TV guide.

Until now it was going fine but my problem are like this.

I have formatted the TV contents as XML and was going for the E4X as described in the ProntoScript Developer’s Guide.

My problem is now that when I get the XML data from a homepage i am not able to use the root.chanal.@name.

But when I include the XML data in the script it works fine.

I have tried to use the example in the ProntoScript Developer’s Guide but with the same result.

My code looks like this:

var socket = new TCPSocket(false);

var result = "";

socket.onConnect = function(){

socket.write("GET /epg/GetEPG.php HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.hostname.dk\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\n\r\n");

};

socket.onData = function(){

result += socket .read();

};

socket.onClose = function(){

var i=0;

var xmlStartIndex = result.indexOf("
var xmlStopIndex = result.indexOf("")+7;

var root = result.substring(xmlStartIndex ,xmlStopIndex );

widget("Res").label = body.content.@title;

}

socket.connect('hostname.dk', 80, 3000);

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

From doing a fair amount of playing with XML stuff it doesn't quite look right.

I'll get back to you a bit later just about to head off to a meeting.

Ok providing

this bit:
var xmlStartIndex = result.indexOf(" //some missing code here??
var xmlStopIndex = result.indexOf("")+7;

Your chopping of the XML header the next step should be

body = new XML(result.substring(xmlStartIndex ,xmlStopIndex ));

Your probably wondering why did I use body =

Well the main reason is what ever you call it here is what the first node is. So for your own sanity name it the first node :)

The rest of your code should be ok from there.

All else fails pic up a copy of ProntoPic and analyse that code a bit more ;)

FYI I normally chop the <XML> header by using the name of the first node
eg.
var StartIndex = receivedData.indexOf("<body");
receivedData = receivedData.substring(StartIndex)
body = new XML(receivedData)

Perfect,

It was the "new XML("")" that was missing. ;-)

Now it is working lika a charm.

Thanks for the quick response.
