view images through xml

I am trying to create a slideshow that has some text and an image. I am able to scroll through the xml file and display the text elements. My problem is with the images. Can anyone help? Thanks

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<dogs>
<info>
<name>Archer</name>
<handler>P.O. 1</handler>
<skills>Drugs</skills>
<birthday>4</birthday>
<imagesrc>Images/K9/Dogs/Archer.jpg</imagesrc>
</info>

code:

<xml src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=XML/dogs.xml" id="xmldso" async="false"></xml>

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td style="width:50%;" align="right">
<span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="imagesrc"></span>
</td>
<td style="width:50%;" align="left">
<table style="border: activeborder 1px solid">
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Name:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="name"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Handler:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="handler"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Skills:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="skills"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="TableBottom" width="70">Birthday:</td><td class="TableBottom" width="100"><span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="birthday"></span></td></tr>
<tr><td width="70"></td><td width="100"></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<A href="http://links.10026.com/?link=JavaScript:moveprevious()"> Back</A>
|
<A href="http://links.10026.com/?link=JavaScript:movenext()"> Next</A>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<INPUT TYPE="text" WIDTH="100" NAME="Number" style="border:0; text-align:center;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function Start()
{
x=xmldso.recordset;
document.Canine.Number.value=x.absoluteposition+" of "+x.recordcount;
// document.getElementById("mypic").src =x.recordset("imagesrc") ;
}

function movenext()
{
x=xmldso.recordset;

if (x.absoluteposition < x.recordcount)
{x.movenext();}
else if (x.absoluteposition = x.recordcount)
{x.movefirst();}

document.Canine.Number.value=eval(x.absoluteposition);
document.Canine.Number.value=x.absoluteposition+" of "+x.recordcount;
}

function moveprevious()
{
x=xmldso.recordset;

if (x.absoluteposition > 1)
{x.moveprevious();}
else if (x.absoluteposition = 1)
{x.movelast();}

document.Canine.Number.value=eval(x.absoluteposition);
document.Canine.Number.value=x.absoluteposition+" of "+x.recordcount;
}

</SCRIPT>

Change this line <span datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="imagesrc"></span>

to <img datasrc="#xmldso" datafld="imagesrc" />

use the img html control instead of the span control. I tested this in my local machine and works fine

let us know

I tired that and did not work. When I scroll through the images, all I get the the missing image with the red x where the image should be.

Well, it should work. do you have the following image?

Images/K9/Dogs/Archer.jpg

right click the red icon and see the image path.

Yes, I have the image. I even moved it to the same folder as the xml file in case the path was not accurate.

Chris,

I am using IE 7 and it works fine. Which browser and what version are you using?

Forget my last comment. It did work. I did not properly refresh the xml file. Thanks for your help. It is appreciated.

Watermark + Textbox Issue

I have a web form with a text box with an associated watermarktextbox extender and a button. The goal is to have the user input a name into the the textbox and then use that value when the button is clicked as parameter to a new web page. This works if i remove the watermarktextbox extender. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Do you want a watermark? What exactly do you want to do? Are you receiving errors?

Sorry for the vague original post. Yes, the goal is to have a watermarked textbox. The user enters data into the textbox and I want to use that data as a parameter to a redirection to a new webpage. The problem is that when I use the watermarked textbox the textbox text is not captured (i.e., my parameter is empty). If I use a standard textbox, I'm able to retrieve the textbox text and use it as I intend. I receive no errors I just get an empty value. I'm guessing I need to change the way I get the value of the textbox (client-side script?) but I have no idea how to do this.

Thanks.

OK. Post the script that your using.

Hi,

It's hard to tell without knowing how do you pass value? Are you using queryString? Or PostBackURL?

Please be more specific, a simple repro is preferred.

watermark disappears after partial postback on another update panel

I have two update panels on page. One of them has an watermark toolkit control which just displays a piece of text in a textbox.

When the page loads the watermark is visible. But if there is a partial postback on the other updatepanel then the watermark disappears.

I am on beta 2 of ajax, and the most recent version of the toolkit.

Is this a known issue, a bug, or are there workarounds?

This scenario should work (and does in at least some circumstances) - please reply with acomplete, self-contained sample page that demonstrates the problem so that we can investigate the specific behavior you're seeing. Thank you!

Watermark issue

Hi all,

I just installed Atlas and tried to make a text box with watermark. I select new Atlas website, add a textbox and a TextBoxWatermarkExtender. When I go to properties of the textbox and click the + before TextBoxWatermarkExtender nothing happenes. The + disapears and I don't get the css and text option. I use Visual Studio 2005 and have no IIS installed. Someone has had this issue before?

Regards,

Stijn

Nobody had this before? This seems to be a bug...
The problem and its resolution are discussed in this thread:http://forums.asp.net/thread/1359451.aspx

Watermark text

I created a practice atlas website, put a textbox on the form, dragged the script manager and watermark control to the form. Went to the properties of the textbox and the watermark referance was there with a plus sign. Clicked on the + sign and nothing was there, I could not insert any text. What am I missing? Thank you.I got it working locally but receive this error on the remote server.

Unknown server tag 'atlas:ScriptManager'.
It seems like maybe the remote server's not seeing the Atlas DLL as registered? Maybe check that there's an @.Register for it or a corresponding entry for it in the web.config on that machine.
