[Dojo-interest] Capturing fragment of HTML returned fromformsubmit

Thu Jul 13 11:36:03 MDT 2006

Andrew,

Ok..looked into this a bit more and came up with this:

var domDoc = dojo.dom.createDocumentFromText(data);
document.getElementById('theDivToOuputReturnedContentTo').innerHTML =
domDoc.getElementById('idOfFragmentOfReturnedContent').innerHTML;

you could also do something like this (but it is very convoluted, so use
the above one):

   target = document.getElementById('theDivToOuputReturnedContentTo');
   var node = document.createElement("div");
   node.innerHTML = data;
   node.style.visibility = "hidden";
   node.style.display = "none";
   document.body.appendChild(node);
   target.innerHTML =
document.getElementById('idOfFragmentOfReturnedContent').innerHTML

Hi Jeff,
well i've got so far:

        var domDoc =
dojo.dom.createDocumentFromText(data).documentElement;
        var parser = new dojo.xml.Parse();
        var parseNodes = parser.parseElement(domDoc);
        alert(parseNodes);

At http://manual.dojotoolkit.org/xml/Parse.html, ParseElement is
described as:

'parseElement accepts a node, and returns an object of arrays, making
recursive calls to parseElement as needed for nested child elements.' 

The alert reads as [object Object] which is correct, but no matter what
I try and do to access the object I keep getting 'underfined' or 'x is
not a function'. What I should be able to do at this point is
parseNodes.getTagName ("output"), but alas, nothing!!! Any ideas?

regards

Andrew

	Oops!  Thought data was a DOM node.  data is actaully a string
of text (or whatever), so you will have to parse this into a DOM node
first.  I have never used dojo utils for this but I just ran across
this:

	var some_javascript_var = "<xmltest>test_value</xmltest>";
		var testDoc =
dojo.dom.createDocumentFromText(some_javascript_var);
		var testObjects = new dojo.xml.Parse
	();
		// might need to pass testDoc.documentElement or similar
		var testItems = testObjects.parseElement(testDoc);
	        dojo.widget.getParser().createComponents(testItems); //
Added, Cris Perdue

	you could try to do something similar.

	Alan,
	data is the return variable which holds the result of the
submitted form:

	    formNode: "Form1",

	    load: function(load, data, e) {
	      dojo.byId('output').innerHTML = data;
	    } 

	data is also the full page which was submitted, which is no good
as you would end up displaying a page within a page each and every time
you submitted the form. So I want to retrieve the node element from
data, which is XML, pertaining to <DIV id="content"/> which holds the
formsection of the returned document. Any ideas how to do this? 

	regards

	Andrew

		Hi Jeff,
		thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion:

		dojo.byId('output').innerHTML =
data.getElementById('output').innerHTML;

		but I get an 'data.getElementById is not a function'
error message. Any ideas what is causing this? 

		regards

		Andrew

data.getElementById('idOfFragmentOfReturnedContent').innerHTML;

returned from form submit

		Hi,
		I have a form submit:

		   dojo.require("dojo.io.*");
		   dojo.require("dojo.event.*");
		   dojo.require("dojo.widget.*");
		   dojo.require("dojo.xml.Parse");

		   formNode: "Form1",

		   load: function(load, data, e) {
		     dojo.byId('output').innerHTML = data;
		   }

		which is returning the entire html page to my div tag
(output). As transport, is by default, set to XMLHttp how do I return
the fragment of HTML I need as opposed to the entire page?! Basically
when the form is submitted, the form section sits between <DIV
id="output" /> so what I need, in the returned xml, is everything
between <DIV id="output" />. 

		regards

		Andrew
