Problem with Grid and XML Data loading

[jcarey03]

I have been trying to get xml data loaded into a grid. I looked at the code example posted: http://www.jackslocum.com/blog/2006/08/31/a-grid-component-for-yahoo-ui-part-2/ and modeled my code after it. When I run my code, there is no data displayed in the grid and no errors. All the files exist locally on my machine. I noticed other people have had this problem as well, but I have not seen a solution to it. Please help.

Thanks,
Jason

Here is some of my code:

var SubscriptionGrid = {
init : function(){
var schema = {
tagName: 'subscription',
id: 'id',
fields: ['title', 'status', 'lastUpdate']
};
dataModel = new YAHOO.ext.grid.XMLDataModel(schema);

// the DefaultColumnModel expects this blob to define columns. It can be extended to provide
// custom or reusable ColumnModels
var colModel = new YAHOO.ext.grid.DefaultColumnModel([
{header: "Subscription", width: 180, sortable: true},
{header: "Status", width: 100, sortable: true},
{header: "Last Update", width: 100, sortable: true}
]);

// create the Grid
var grid = new YAHOO.ext.grid.Grid('subscriptionWrapper', dataModel, colModel);
grid.autoWidth = true;
grid.autoHeight = true;
grid.render();
dataModel.load('../../data/subscription.xml', '');
}
}
YAHOO.ext.EventManager.onDocumentReady(SubscriptionGrid.init, SubscriptionGrid, true);

Did you try setting a breakpoint in the load routine to see if your data is even getting loaded. You say 'no errors' - does that mean you wrapped the load with a try/catch, or just don't see any script errors reported?

There is a complete example of an xml grid in docs - you should be able to run that locally with only minor tweaks to account for your xml schema.

If that fails you might try posting a link, or a more complete sample, including the HTML and XML.

Make sure in your data u got the id node.

happened to me I just returned fields in xml, but it needs one more for id.....


not sure is your case.

If your data doesn't have an id node, change your schema to say id: 'use-index' instead of id:id.

If the "files exist on your local machine" you will need to put them on a server (install apache locally if you must). XMLHTTPRequest cannot load from the local file system.

Thanks - that worked!
