Hello,

I am able to get the javascript to open the xml document without the dtd. But when I add the dtd in the xml, the javascript will no longer display the xml data. Help!

I have the html/javascript code, the xml file with the list of news articles and then the xml file with dtd.

your comments suggestions,etc....are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
kim

Hello,

I found out was was really going on. I don't need a DTD. I am learning.

The problem really was the htmltxt += news[j].childNodes(2).firstChild.text; //content line not displaying the full text of the in the xml file. When I changed it to htmltxt += news[j].childNodes(2).text; //content. It displayed all of it.

But....it doesn't display the
tags in the xml document properly with in the innerhtml of the div tag. I am still researching what can be done to resolve this.

Thank you everyone and sorry for the confusion.

Hi

This means that your xml is not valid according that dtd. I had the same problem with IE. Just turn validation off and it works.
xmlDoc.validateOnParse = "false"
