[Introduction] Now let's do a small example of applying xml in IE: solving the linkage problem of double drop-down menus. Perhaps the most common example is to select a province and then change the city options, so let's try to use XML to complete it. Some of the functions I introduced before were implemented directly using XML+XSL files.

Now let’s do a small example of applying xml in IE: solving the linkage problem of double drop-down menus. Perhaps the most common example is to select a province and then change the city options, so let's try to use XML to complete it.

I have implemented some of the functions introduced before directly using XML+XSL files. You may not be very familiar with its usage, so I will use HMTL+XML this time, hoping to make everyone more familiar with it. Clear understanding - "XML can be so simple!":)


Materials:
XML volume selection menu linkage
There are 2 files: Citys.xml and CitySelect.htm

Function:
After selecting a province, the corresponding city can be automatically displayed, which is convenient for users, effectively improves data interaction, and makes your page more colorful.

Code:
Citys.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="gb2312"?>
<China>
  <State id="1" name="江西">
    <City>九江</City>
    <City>南昌</City>

CitySelect.htm

Custom function: ChooseState
(Read the name of the province in the XML data and add it to the SelState drop-down list)

function ChooseState()
{
  var source;
  var sourceName = "Citys.xml";
  var source = new ActiveXObject(&#39;Microsoft.XMLDOM&#39;);   //创建一个 MSXML解析器实例
  source.async = false;
  source.load(sourceName);   //装入XML文档
  root = source.documentElement;   //设置文档元素为根节点元素
  sortField=root.selectNodes("//@name");   //搜索属性中含有name的所有节点
  for(var i=0;i<sortField.length;++i)   //增加省份名称到下拉列表
  {
    var oOption = document.createElement(&#39;OPTION&#39;);
    oOption.text = " "+sortField[i].text+" ";
    oOption.value = sortField[i].text;
     form1.SelState.options.add(oOption); 
  }
   ChooseCity();
}

Custom function: ChooseCity
(according to The currently selected province name is used to read the corresponding city name in the XML data and add it to the SelCity drop-down list)

function ChooseCity()
{
  x=form1.SelState.selectedIndex;   //读取省份下拉框的当前选项
  y=form1.SelState.options[x].value;
  sortField=root.selectNodes("//State[@name=&#39;"+y+"&#39;]/City&q uot;);   //搜索name属性值等于
参数y的State节点下的所有city节点
  for(var i=form1.SelCity.options.length-1;i>=0;--i)   //撤消原来的列表项
  {
    form1.SelCity.options.remove(i)
  }
  for(var i=0;i<sortField.length;++i)   //增加城市名称到下拉列表
  {
    var oOption = document.createElement(&#39;OPTION&#39;);
    oOption.text = " "+sortField[i].text+" ";
    oOption.value = sortField[i].text;
    form1.SelCity.options.add(oOption); 
  }
}

Postscript:
When I first started learning XML, I had the same confusion as everyone else - "I have learned XML, but how should I use it?" What? "This question has been holding me back for a long, long time...

Because e-commerce and software development are my expertise, I thought it would be better to start with what I am most familiar with. So I implemented some of the most commonly used functions in website construction in XML. You can do it too!
