Okay, so I have't used jQuery before, and I'm trying to make an XML blurb thing.
It's supposed to read stuff from an XML file, structured as so:
CODE
<blurbs>
<blurb id="0">
<title>TITLETEXT</title>
<body>BODY TEXT<body>
</blurb>
...
</blurbs>
My jQuery code is:
CODE
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#descButton").click(function(){
$("#descText").slideToggle();
});
$("#menuTitle").click(function(){
$("#specMenu").animate({width: 'toggle'});
});
$.ajax({
type: "GET"
url: "blurb.xml"
dataType: "xml"
success: function(xml) {
var id = Math.floor(Math.random()*6);
var blurbs = $(xml).find("blurbs");
var blurb = (blurbs).find("blurb id="+id);
var title = (blurb).find("title").text();
var body = (blurb).find("body").text();
$(title+"<hr style='width:95%' />"+body).appendTo('.blurbs');
}
});
});
Thanks for any help. I'll try to respond ASAP
