Hi All:

I have a challenging jQuery XML task I'm trying to accomplish as follows:

1. <nav_data>
2.       <outline>
3.             <links>
4.                   <slidelink slideid="_player.6LjVRsWzPla" displaytext="Scene 1" expand="true">
5.                         <links>
6.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.6LjVRsWzPla.6GWiXuWmXyn" displaytext="Fundamentals" expand="true" />
7.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.6LjVRsWzPla.6gxk7XqbaT8" displaytext="Closed Captioning Example" expand="true" />
8.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.6LjVRsWzPla.5rPNkwvz8u2" displaytext="Another Cationing Example" expand="true" />
9.                         </links>
10.                   </slidelink>
11.                   <slidelink slideid="_player.5vBpwlDk0Kc" displaytext="Scene 2" expand="true">
12.                         <links>
13.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.5vBpwlDk0Kc.6GFHxzyjyh5" displaytext="Change in Scene" expand="true" />
14.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.680CGwUAaSX.641pSMeVBq2" displaytext="Glossary" expand="true" />
15.                         </links>
16.                   </slidelink>
17.                   <slidelink slideid="_player.680CGwUAaSX" displaytext="Menu and Resources" expand="true">
18.                         <links>
19.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.680CGwUAaSX.6AopJzqESlV" displaytext="Menu" expand="true" />
20.                               <slidelink slideid="_player.680CGwUAaSX.6U6k0n98l71" displaytext="Resources" expand="true" />
21.                         </links>
22.                   </slidelink>
23.             </links>
24.       </outline>
25. </nav_data>

My objective is to find the have each slidelink display the "displaytext" attributes and apply the slideid attributes to them.

 I'm currently able to display the 2 attributes for the first ChildNode.

 My issues are:

1. I do not know how to create an array to display these attributes for all childNodes.
2. I do not know how to create a relative URL for the slidelink and display the displaytext for the slidelink.

 I am not able to change the XML at all as this is produced using an courseware development IDE.

1. <script>
2.       var loadscenelink = function(){
3.       $.ajax({
4.             type: "GET",
5.             url: "story_content/frame.xml",
6.             dataType: "xml",
7.             success: function(xml){
8.                   var surl = $($(xml).find('links')[0].childNodes[0].attributes["slideid"]);
9.                   var slinkvalue = surl[0].nodeValue;
10.                   var slinkcode = $(surl);
11.                   console.log(surl); /* Firefox Degugging */
12.                   console.log(slinkvalue); /* Firefox Degugging */
13.                   var player = GetPlayer();
14.                   player.SetVar("SceneLink",slinkvalue);
15.             }
16.       });
17. };
18. </script>
19.  
20. <script>
21. var loadscenelinkname = function(){
22.       $.ajax({
23.             type: "GET",
24.             url: "story_content/frame.xml",
25.             dataType: "xml",
26.             success: function(xml){
27.                   var sln = $($(xml).find('links')[0].childNodes[0].attributes["displaytext"]);
28.                   var slinkname = sln[0].nodeValue;
29.                   var slinktitle = $(sln);
30.                   console.log(sln); /* Firefox Degugging */
31.                   console.log(slinkname); /* Firefox Degugging */
32.                   var player = GetPlayer();
33.                   player.SetVar("SceneLinkName",slinkname);
34.             }
35.       });
36. };
37. </script>
