Javascript and xml

Squiz Matrix Support

Hi,


I have a form that uses javascript and XML to look up campus then loads the building and then loads the room numbers. It then uses an xml file to display a picture of the room. I am having trouble trying to re-create this in squiz. Any ideas?

How are you trying to recreate this?

There shouldn't be any limitations on recreating functionality like this through matrix since javascript is client side. There are a couple of gotcha's though:

  • Check that externally referenced javascript files in the head of your page (design) are referenced using the mysource_files location
  • If the xml file is a matrix asset check that the path and user permissions are correct for referencing the file. Remember that matrix replaces the webpath with an __data path to decrease processing time for live and publicly readable files (they are served out directly through apache).



    We do this on quite a few sites, so there shouldn't be any issues.
