Display object.responseXML text for debugging
debugging, javascript, jquery, sharepoint, xml
Solution
Try using firebug for firefox to see error messages and messages produced by `console.log`.
Problem
I'm using the following script: ``` <script type="text/javascript"> function processResult(xData, status) { $('.feedbackLink').empty(); alert ($(xData.responseXML.xml)); console.log($(xData.responseXML.xml)); $(xData.responseXML).find("z\\:row").each(function() { alert ($(this)); var title = $(this).attr("ows_Title"); var url = $(this).attr("ows_Contact"); $('.feedbackLink').append("<a href="+url+">"+title+"</a>"); }); }; $(document).ready(function() { alert("ready"); var soapEnv = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> <soapenv:Body> <GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'> <listName>Pages</listName> <viewFields> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name='Title' /> <FieldRef Name='Contact' /> </ViewFields> </viewFields> </GetListItems> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>"; $.ajax({ url: "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx", type: "POST", dataType: "xml", data: soapEnv, complete: processResult, contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"" }); alert(soapEnv); }); </script> ``` But the alert within `$(xData.responseXML).find("z\\:row").each(function() {` wont fire. How can I view the responseXML? I want to double check I'm looking for the right identifiers (I dont know where the `ows_` came from, I was given this script to work with). The alert and console.log just displays [object Object]. Any advice on how to debug this?
