XML stores structured data in elements and attributes. JavaScript can request an XML document, access the parsed XML DOM, read nodes and attributes, and use that data to build interactive page controls.
This section keeps the original Plus2net XML examples and applications, while using modern asynchronous JavaScript for the working code.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| XMLHttpRequest | Request and parse an XML document. |
| Displaying data | Read and display XML element values. |
| getAttribute() | Read attribute values from XML elements. |
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Dropdown list | Create a dropdown list from XML element data. |
| Form data | Display a student's name, id and class after selecting a name. |
