How to get Xml data to dynamic list

test.xml
<Bock1>
<No>123</No>
<RoomNo>10</RoomNo>
<UpdateTime>1230</UpdateTime>
</Block1>
run.js
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: test.xml,
dataType: "xml",
success: function (xml) {
$(xml).find('Block1').each(function () {
var updateTime = $(this).find("UpdateTime").text();
var no= $(this).find("No").text();
var roomNo = $(this).find("RoomNo").text();
var status = no + '<br/>' + roomNo + '<br/>' + updateTime;
});
}
});
$('<div>')
.attr({
'data-role': 'collapsible', 'data-collapsed': 'false', 'data-mini': 'true'
})
.html('<h4>' + item_name + '</h4><p>' + status + '</p>')
.appendTo(collapsibleset);
}
});
I'm using this to generate collapsibleset with xml data,
but status can't correctly fill into
<p> + status + </p>
status will get correctly inside ajax, but can't get to collapsibleset.
I've tried to use global variable, but get same situation.
How could I fill it in correctly?
I'm new to jquery & javaScript,
Thanks for any answers!!!

jQuery.ajax() is expecting string for the URL value.
Therefore your URL just needs wrapping in quotes.
Then your DOM reference of the
$('< div >')
is wrong.
To reference an element in JQuery, you have several options, but the easiest is to give an element an id and then reference that (think CSS)
$('div') would get all divs
$('div#my_id') would get this particular element:

Passing data that is coming from a server, from one page to another in javascript without using forms

I do not have much grip on javascript and having problemswith it.
My data is coming from a server and the user when clicks on an item is redirected to a new page which has that items all details. The problem is when a user clicks on an item,how to send the data from one page to the next.
No php is used. javascript ajax jquery used and data coming from json
this is format and when user clicks on play button a new age should be displayed where the data is to be shown to user.
Template={"Big_Display_Template": '{{#items}}<input type="hidden" name="guid" value="{{id}}"><div class="hero"
style="background-image:url({{videoStillURL}})"><div class="hero-content"><br>
<h2>{{name}}</h2> <p>{{shortDescription}}</p> <div class="hero-links"><a href="Watch_Live.html"
onclick="PassDataToNextPage({{name}},{{id}},{{shortDescription}});">
Play<span class="genericon genericon-play"> </span></a></div>
<div class="hero-links-fav"><a href="#">Favourite<span class="genericon genericon-fav">
</span></a></div></div></div>{{/items}}'
}
This is my function PassDataToNextPage()
function PassDataToNextPage(name,guid,Description)
{
var url = 'Watch_Live.html';
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
data: 'name=' + name + '&guid=' + guid + '&shortDescription=' + Description,
success: function(result) {
dataUrl=data;
}
});
return window.location+"/"+dataUrl;
}
I know this is wrong but how to make it right? thanks a lot in advance

The problem lies in the return window.location+"/"+dataUrl; line: the redirect should be done inside the success function because it will be called when the request is completed:
function PassDataToNextPage(name,guid,Description)
{
var url = 'Watch_Live.html';
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
data: 'name=' + name + '&guid=' + guid + '&shortDescription=' + Description,
success: function(result) {
dataUrl = data;
window.location = window.location + "/" + dataUrl;
}
});
}
In the template you must add return false in the onclick attribute to avoid the browser following the link interrupting your handler:
<a href="Watch_Live.html" onclick="PassDataToNextPage({{name}},{{id}},{{shortDescription}});return false">

You can pass key:value data via url GET parameters.
For example: if you want to pass data to this page: Watch_Live.html, you can do something like:
<button>Pass data</button>
To parse the parametesr in the other page, read this SO answer to a similar question.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/901144/4440845

Look like you want to pass data and go to the next page with the data, you don't need ajax to achieve. Simply:
function PassDataToNextPage(name,guid,Description)
{
var url = 'Watch_Live.html';
window.location.href = url + '?name=' + name + '&guid=' + guid + '&shortDescription=' + Description;
}
Comment:
You can use:
< a onclick="PassDataToNextPage({{name}},{{id}},{{shortDescription}});">Play< /a>
The click event will be handled by the function PassDataToNextPage in onclick.
Assuming you use PHP in your next page, you can fetch the data
$name = $_GET['name'];
$guid = $_GET['guid'];
$shortDesc = $_GET['shortDescription'];

Allowing ampersand (&) in textarea

I googled for this but without luck.
I have a textarea in a form that I'm trying to send via ajax with jQuery. My problem is when the textarea contains ampersand (&) it breaks. That is any text contained after & will not be fetched including the ampersand (&). I am sending the data as follows:
message = "What are the concerns you are looking to address? "+othr+".\n";
var dataString = 'name=' + name + '&email=' + email + '&company=' + company + '&message=' + message + '&othr=' + othr + '&vpb_captcha_code=' + vpb_captcha_code + '&submitted=1';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "contactus-contact-form.php",
data: dataString ,
I read encodeURIComponent() and tried implementing the same but it does not work. Any pointers?
EDIT:The following fails to obtain the text values:
message = "What are the concerns or security issues you are looking to address? "+othr+".\n";
var data0 = {name: + name + email: + email + company: + company + message: + message +
othr: + othr + vpb_captcha_code: + vpb_captcha_code + submitted: "1"};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "contactus-contact-form.php",
data: data0,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",

& is the character used to separate key/value pairs in form encoded data. You need to escape it if you want to use as part of the data.
The easiest way to do that is to let jQuery take care of building the form encoded string for you. Pass an object to the data argument:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {
name: name,
email: email,
company: company,
message: message,
othr: othr,
vpb_captcha_code: vpb_captcha_code,
submitted: 1
},
// etc
If you really want to do it manually, then the encodeURIComponent function will work:
var dataString = "name=" + encodeURIComponent(name) + "&email=" + encodeURIComponent(email) // etc etc etc

i met this problem,
for a specific reason I needed to display & instead of & in a textarea.
To do so, i replaced "&" by "&"
I hope it's help

ou can resolve your problem using encodeURIComponent() function .You have just change the code as below.I think you have set the textarea value to variable othr.You can just encode this variable only using encodeURIComponent(othr).That mean You can parse the textarea value using encodeURIComponent method.
message = "What are the concerns you are looking to address? "+othr+".\n";
var dataString = 'name=' + name + '&email=' + email + '&company=' + company + '&message=' + message + '&othr=' + encodeURIComponent(othr) + '&vpb_captcha_code=' + vpb_captcha_code + '&submitted=1';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "contactus-contact-form.php",
data: dataString ,
});
or
message = "What are the concerns or security issues you are looking to address? "+othr+".\n";
var data0 = {name: + name + email: + email + company: + company + message: + message +
othr: +encodeURIComponent(othr) + vpb_captcha_code: + vpb_captcha_code + submitted: "1"};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "contactus-contact-form.php",
data: data0,
dataType: "json",

Javascript url 404 error

I'm have a problem loading a site. Using this code:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
//url: '#Url.Action("/TellFriendPopup")',
url: '/Property/TellFriendPopup',
data: { "SenderName": SenderName, "senderMail": senderMail, "receiverMail": receiverMail, "comments": comments, "urlLink": urlLink, "subjectId": subjectId },
success: function (data) {
$("#result").html("<ul><li>Name: " + data.nameret + "</li><li>Email: " + data.emailret + "</li><li>Message: " + data.messageret + "</li></ul>");
$(".dialog").dialog("close");
},
The problem is that I had to move the code to a JavaScript file, instead of the MVC4 View, where i could use the #Url.Action method. But it is not working in JavaScript. It Just gives me this error POST http://localhost:54717/Property/ContactPopup 404 (Not Found). The reason as I can see is that it's the Globalization that it's missing. Because the url should look like this http://localhost:54717/da/Property/ContactPopup or http://localhost:54717/en/Property/ContactPopup

You could get the first folder of the pathname. As long as that is where the language code is on every page.
var language = location.pathname.split("/")[1];
url: language + '/Property/TellFriendPopup'

You can have language in hidden field.
var language = document.getElementById('language`).value;
url: '/' + language + '/Property/TellFriendPopup'

Can you try changing this: url: '/Property/TellFriendPopup',
to this url: '../Property/TellFriendPopup',

Post Forms Using Javascript URL

I'm trying to submit a form to a website not my own (salesforce.com with their web-to-lead function) and I'm doing it through a javascript modal window.
Basically once all the entries are tested and made sure there are no errors, I use this:
if(error_count == 0) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "[salesforce url]",
data: "first_name=" + first_name + "&last_name=" + last_name + "&email=" + email + "&firm=" + firm + "&[salesforceid]=" + AUM + "&[salesforceid]=" + custodian + "&[salesforceid]=" + custodian_other,
error: function() {
$('.error').hide();
$('#sendError').slideDown('slow');
},
success: function () {
$('.error').hide();
$('.success').slideDown('slow');
$('form#callToAction').fadeOut('slow');
}
});
}
If tested the form without using javascript and the url works, so I'm thinking maybe the way javascript handles the url is the issue?
The issue: the data is not getting successfully submitted to Salesforce. Again, regular HTML form works, javascript doesn't. So I've identified it as a javascript issue.

You cannot make a XHR cross domain request unless the receiving server has allowed it and the browser supports CORS. You can however do a blind submit like this which will assume success:
var $form = $("<form>", {
method: "POST",
action: "[salesforce url]",
target: "my-iframe"
}).appendTo("body");
var $iframe = $("<iframe>", {
name: "my-iframe"
}).bind( "load", function () {
$('.error').hide();
$('.success').slideDown('slow');
$('form#callToAction').fadeOut('slow');
$iframe.remove();
$form.remove();
}).appendTo("body");
$.each(("first_name=" + first_name + "&last_name=" + last_name + "&email=" + email + "&firm=" + firm + "&[salesforceid]=" + AUM + "&[salesforceid]=" + custodian + "&[salesforceid]=" + custodian_other).split("&")), function (index, value) {
var pair = value.split("=");
$form.append("<input>", {
type: "hidden",
name: pair[0],
value: pair[1]
});
});
$form.submit();

+1 for Jim Jose. This sort of thing could be interpreted as an XSS attack against the user, so most likely the browser will not allow it.
You could check out your browser's error logs, see if there's any security errors when you try to run your script. If that doesn't do anything, try to install a tool like Firebug and see if it can pinpoint the problem.
You could also improve your error handling by trying a different sort of method signature for the error function, like this:
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {...}
This way you can check what sort of error is being thrown from the Ajax call.
