Autocomplete and Mapping XML data

in Using jQuery UI • 8 years ago

I'm trying to follow JQuerUI's example wtih mapping XML from an AJAX Response to an autocomplete textbox.

I feel like im following the example, but not sure where im going wrong. here is my code:

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
async: true,
timeout: null,
url: "ASNProxy.asmx/getStoresOnPO",
dataType: "xml",
data: { xmlDoc: criteria },
success: function (xmlResponse) {
var data = $("STORE", xmlResponse).map(function () {
return {
value: $("STORE_NAME", this).text(),
id: $("STORE_NO", this).text()
};
}).get();
$("#txtNewFromStoreNo").autocomplete({
source: data
});
}
});
And Here is my XML: I've test the webservice, and the result in the debugger, so i know it's returning ok...i think.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<RESULT>
-
<RETURN>
<CODE>0</CODE>
<MESSAGE>6</MESSAGE>
</RETURN>
-<DATA>
-
<STORE_LIST>
-<STORE>
<STORE_NO>1101</STORE_NO>
<STORE_NAME>VANCOUVER DOWNTOWN</STORE_NAME>
</STORE>-<STORE>
<STORE_NO>1125</STORE_NO>
<STORE_NAME>SOUTHGATE</STORE_NAME>
</STORE>
-<STORE>
<STORE_NO>1144</STORE_NO>
<STORE_NAME>MARKET MALL</STORE_NAME>
</STORE>
-<STORE>
<STORE_NO>1560</STORE_NO>
<STORE_NAME>DOWNTOWN</STORE_NAME>
</STORE>-<STORE>
<STORE_NO>1601</STORE_NO>
<STORE_NAME>MAIN</STORE_NAME>
</STORE>-<STORE>
<STORE_NO>1611</STORE_NO>
<STORE_NAME>POINTE CLAIRE</STORE_NAME>
</STORE>
</STORE_LIST>
</DATA>
</RESULT>

Are you getting any error? Do you have a page with this code that we can take a look at? If you put a debug statement such as the following just before autocomplete is fired, what do you see?

console.log( data );

I have debugged a lot of Autocomplete's that use JSON, but XML ? . . . not so much, so take this with a grain of salt.

Your jQuery looks like it follows the model well. I have nothing to add. My hunch is that lines 28 through 31 in your post are confusing Autocomplete. The Autocomplete function knows nothing about those variables. See if you can remove those lines from the XML before feeding Autocomplete, and see what happens.

FWIW.

If your XML is as you posted, with the dashes before some of the nodes, it not valid XML. Your success function is never called. Line 26’s dash would kill it.

Thanks guys for your suggestions, ill look into this again today and see what i can figure out.

@Jake

I don't think those dashes are actually in there. I think this is just how the XML visualizer in Visual Studio displays things. It's like they bullet the nodes or something.

http://home.jejaju.com/play/Stores/ is my interpretation of your code with valid XML.

Type MAR

Thanks Guys,

@Godsbest

Thanks for showing me how to use console.log(), that helped. I was always using alerts before, much easier.

@Jake

Your replication was very beneficial in helping me narrow down the problem. I decided to repeat your example and was successful which pointed me towards the fact my web service was not correct.

I was focused on looking at what the debugger showed i was returning so much, that i overlooked the fact that my script method was set to JSON instead of XML. I probably should just be doing JSON, but this example with XML just looked so easily understandable to customize for my needs that it enticed me.

Anyways, i changed it to this and it worked.

<ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat:=ResponseFormat.Xml)> _

Thank you all for the help.
