XML, Javascript and HTML question

how can I parse XML with javascript to create HTML.

One way is to load the XML file as an ActiveX object. Here's an example:

btw - if your goal is simply to be able to produce client-side pages generated from XML data, javsacript is not necessary. You can also add a stylesheet tag directly into the XML document.

Where can I find some tutorials about that? What I need is something capable to display the directories that exist inside a cd. The html will be the index page of that same cd.

You want to read the directory listing of the CD ... hmm ... we've come full circle here from your original thread (http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16505)

Basically - I suggested XML to you because of its usefulness as a mini-database you can parse client side.

But actually reading the CD and extracting its directory listing is something else entirely.

You mentioned ActiveX support being problematic - well basically that's it; the only browser-based way of reading a CD directory is through active X.

What's the bottom line here - you want to build a CD-based catalogue? But surely - at the point when you burn the CD, you know what it contains ... you can make a static file, no?

Well. I could. But this is the fun in it. I have to choose from, let say, something like 2000 products. The products are inside a database and there's the possibility of choosing all the products. Problem number two: each product has a field called categorie, and it can be an infinite number of categories. Each categorie is a "folder" so resuming, It could take a lot to do that. So the easiest way was to use a language that everyone can use (no need of special software)

Sounds to me like what you need is a native application.

Can you "translate" that?

I mean Windows software; a program that runs on the CD and acts as a directory browser.

Sorry I can't be more helpful; this is beyond what I know about.
