    text
    copied!<p>Recently I have encountered problems in writing a small XML parser in JavaScript using Jquery. The code which I am using for accomplish this task is as follows : </p> <pre><code> /*Private */ var XMLObject=$.parseXML(dataXml); var $XMLObject=$(XMLObject); var questionNumber=0; // array of XML objects var questionsXML= new Array(); /** Html questions */ //array of strings var questionsHTML= new Array(); /********************* * Constructor * *********************/ a=$XMLObject.find("questions"); a.children().each( function () { console.log( "XML : " + new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(this)); questionsXML[questionNumber]=this; questionNumber++; }); this.getXML=function () { var out = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(this.XMLObject); return out; } this.getQuestionNumber=function() { return questionNumber; } // This function returns the question sequentially. this.getQuestion=function() { } Test function : function testXML () { var xml ="XML see later" var Obj= new XMLQuestions(xml); console.log("Question Number: " + Obj.getQuestionNumber()); } </code></pre> <p>I don't understand why the number of children returned is 3 when it should be 2. As it is stated in the Jquery documentation children function should only check the first level of the XML tree. </p> <p>The XML used as Test is the follwing one : </p> <pre><code>&lt;questionnaire&gt; &lt;questions&gt; &lt;question id="1"&gt; &lt;number&gt;&lt;/number&gt; &lt;title&gt;Q1&lt;/title&gt; &lt;answers &gt; &lt;answer type="TextInput"&gt; &lt;result&gt;ss&lt;/result&gt; &lt;questions&gt; &lt;title&gt;Hidden&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/questions&gt; &lt;/answer&gt; &lt;/answers&gt; &lt;/question&gt; &lt;question id="2"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Q2&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/question&gt; &lt;/questions&gt; &lt;/questionnaire&gt; </code></pre> <p>as you can see the number of question's children is two. </p> <p>The results I have got so fare are : </p> <pre><code>XML : &lt;question id="1"&gt; &lt;number/&gt; &lt;title&gt;Q1&lt;/title&gt; &lt;answers&gt; &lt;answer type="TextInput"&gt; &lt;result&gt;ss&lt;/result&gt; &lt;questions&gt; &lt;title&gt;Hidden&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/questions&gt; &lt;/answer&gt; &lt;/answers&gt; &lt;/question&gt; question.js:24 XML : &lt;question id="2"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Q2&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/question&gt; question.js:24 XML : &lt;title&gt;Hidden&lt;/title&gt; question.js:24 Question Number: 3 </code></pre> <p>Can you help me? </p>
