I have a small hitch in reading the contents of an XML file..
the following code reads the contents properly. But the contents are refreshed dynamically and everytime it gets refreshed the loading in javascript doesnt get resfreshed. It take some time.


xmlDoc.load("xmls/messageXML.xml");
var doc=xmlDoc.documentElement;
if(doc!=null)
{
alert(doc.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].text);
}

function abcd() {
var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load("1.xml");
var doc=xmlDoc.documentElement;
if(doc!=null)
{
alert(doc.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].text);
}
}
setInterval("abcd()",5000);

yes i tried this with 2000(2 secs) but its taking 2 second which is costly.

And moreover when the content of the XMl changes why the XMl loding doesnt take place in javascript?

Because the xmlDoc.load() is a method to get the XML's current value ,which isnt a import

It is called your browser is caching the document. Read this: http://radio.javaranch.com/pascarello/2005/10/21/1129908221072.html

Eric Pascarello,3Q
"+Date()" appended to the request URL will be safer.

Thank you very much for all your replies.
But my problem is no caching of data due to resuests in Ajax but XML reading object...

var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async="false";
xmlDoc.load("xmls/messageXML.xml");
var doc=xmlDoc.documentElement;
alert(doc.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].text);

Im getting the cache problem with this XMl loading object...
So a code to clear the chache of this object is reuired

thanks in advance

It is the same thing here....

append the date to the name of the XML document.

yes thanks for the ideas that you gave.. its working now...

And one more thing I want to know, before using the XML system file method in Ajax, I used to write XML content to the response object in the Java coding and read it in the Javascript. But when reading response object as

var responseXML = req.responseXML;
var details = responseXML.getElementsByTagName("details")[0];

I got null object at the second line...

So do you have any idea what would be the error there and can you suggest me which one is the best method to get data ufing Ajax... through response object or file system...and why?

this line should read
var responseXML = req.responseXML.documentElement;

If the getElementsByTagName does not work, than that means the XML document coming back is not structured correctly. Open up the document directly into the browser and see if it gives error messages.
