I am using Xerces in Java. I would like to parse an HTML document to find a div element having a specific attribute (e.g., id = myID). Upon finding said element, I would like to return the text content within the div. I have been unable to find any examples of this online for Xerces.
Example:
<div id="myId">foo</div>
This should return foo.
Sorry this doesn't answer using Xerces-J, but there is a library called jsoup that is made for this sort of thing (though I'm sure Xerces can do this as well). It's sort of like Javascript for Java. Jsoup allows you to do something like this:
String html = "<div id=\"myId\">foo</div>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
String divfoo = doc.getElementById("myId").text();
System.out.println(divfoo);
What do you think?

I am trying to learn iMacros (and avoid jscript or vbscript IF possible). I was reading any resource i could find since yesterday and the imacros reference does not have any helpful example of what i need.
All the methods I tried, will extract either the TXT or the HTM content of an element. My problem is that i have a div like this
<div class="cust_div" id="Customer_45621">
...content in here...
</div>
And the part i need to extract is 45621 which is the only dynamic part of the id attribute.
For example, between 3 customers, it could be
Customer_45621
Customer_35123
Customer_85663
All I need is the number. Thanks.
The solution is
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=cust_div EXTRACT=HTM
Then you have to use EVAL and use in it JS scripting to extract the id. That is the only way. You can't cut the HTML code without JS, but you can use JS in iMacros with EVAL.
I have a string with basic html markup which I want to put into a rich textbox
string ab = #"<b> a b </b>"
I want it to render as it would appear in a browser ie:
a b
how can I do this in active reports 7? According to http://www.datadynamics.com/forums/77664/ShowPost.aspx, a richtextbox supports these tags. Do I have to specify a property to allow it to render html? How should I approach this?
Thanks,
Sam
More information (Update 8/11):
I'm binding the data from a database field - an oracle nclob. The field repeats within the detail section (with different information each time).
If I bind the field directly to a textbox or label it renders the string, but doesnt encode the html
<b> a b </b>
but it encode the string.
Solution Summary
Solution (as suggested by #activescott)
Bind rtx directly to the datafield
'Reformat' the text into html in
the script
public void detail_Format()
{
rtxBox.Html = rtxBox.Text;
}
result: renders the html field with some degree of html formatting
notes:
binding directly in the script doesnt work,
ie. rtxBox.Html = pt.Fields["CONT_ID"].ToString(); yields some wierd meta data string
the Datafield only binding approach doesn't work
(it will yield it as text)
there are some extra spacing that occurs with p tags. It may be worth regexing them out or somehow providing some formatting control.
The actual property you are looking for is the Html Property. You can also load a file into that control using the step-by-step walkthrough here.
I am assuming you are using Section Reports and not Page Reports.
To use HTML from the database in a bound report, you should be able to use the DataField property of the RichTextBox control (set it to the name of the corresponding Data field at design time). However, I noticed this "Render HTML tags in DB in ActiveReport pdf or HTML" article which kind of implies that doesn't work since it loads the HTML from a database programatically. One of the two should work.
With a grails app and from a local database, I'm returning some text in a xml format.
I can return it well formed in a <textarea></textarea> tag with the correct indenting (tabulation, line return,...etc.)
I want to go a bit further. In the text I'm returning, there are some <img/> tags and I'd like to replace those tag by the real images themselves.
I searched around and found no solution as of now. I understood that you can't add an image to a textarea (other then in a background), and if I choose a div tag, I won't have the indenting anymore (and therefore, harder to read)
I was wondering if using a <g:textField/> or an other tag from the grails library will do the trick. And if so, How can I append them to a page using jquery.
For example, how to append a <g:textField/> in jquery. It doesn't interpret it and I get this error
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list [Break On This Error]...+doc).append("<input type="text" id="FTMAP_"+nb_sec+"" ...
And in my javascript file, I have
$("#FTM_"+doc).append("<g:textField id='FTMAP_"+nb_sec+"' ... />
Any possible solutions ?
EDIT
I did forget to mention that my final intentions are to be able to modify the text (tags included) and to have a nice and neat indentation so that it is the easiest possible for the end user.
You are asking a few different questions:
1. Can I use a single HTML tag to include images inside pre-formatted text.
No. You will have to parse the text and translate it into styled text yourself.
2. Is there a tag in the grails standard tags to accomplish this for me?
No.
3. How can I add grails tags from my javascript code.
Grails tags are processed on the server-side, and javascript is processed on the client. This means you cannot directly add grails tags via javascript.
There are a couple methods that can accomplish the same result, however:
You can set a javascript variable to the rendered content of a grails tag. This solution is good for data that is known at the time of the initial request.
var tagOutput = "${g.textField(/* etc */)}";
You can make an ajax request for the content to be added. Then your server-side grails code can render the tags you need. This is better for realtime data, or data that will be updated more than once on a single rendered page.
For the Jquery UI tag-it widget, I'd like to disable text input into the class="ui-widget-content ui-autocomplete-input" textbox which contains all the tags.
My purpose is to just allow certain people the ability to delete inappropriate tags, but not allow anybody to add tags (which are auto-generated).
Is the best thing for me to edit the tag-it .js file and add a disable="disable" for that field? If I do that, won't that prevent the contents of that field from being submitted? Or does that matter as long as the associated hidden field is submitted?
Or is there a better way of doing this (an overriding style?) without modifying the tag-it file itself?
Thanks,

In tag-it.js I replaced this line:
this._tagInput = $('<input type="text"').addClass('ui-widget-content');
with this:
this._tagInput = $('<input type="text" readonly="readonly"/>').addClass('ui-widget-content');
adding the readonly="readonly" attribute. That had the desired effect of preventing input but still allowing users to delete inappropriate auto-generated tags.
I had the same question as original op.
But as the question is 2 and a half years old, and tag-it version is changed.
The accepted answer needs to be updated to the folowing in
tag-it.js around line 478:
from:
if (this.options.readOnly){
tag.addClass('tagit-choice-read-only');
}
To:
if (this.options.readOnly){
tag.addClass('tagit-choice-editable');
// Button for removing the tag.
var removeTagIcon = $('<span></span>')
.addClass('ui-icon ui-icon-close');
var removeTag = $('<a><span class="text-icon">\xd7</span></a>') // \xd7 is an X
.addClass('tagit-close')
.append(removeTagIcon)
.click(function(e) {
// Removes a tag when the little 'x' is clicked.
that.removeTag(tag);
});
tag.append(removeTag);
}
This is under the documentation of git repository having the documentation, under the Properties section:
$("#myTags").data("ui-tagit").tagInput.addClass("fancy"); //Obviously
if you want to do something with class...
This translates to the solution for this below, in my personal implementation style, and probably the only way I could get this to work:
$("#myTags").data("ui-tagit").tagInput.prop('disabled' , true);
This is if I understand your question correctly.
Note: ReadOnly does not make the tags un-editable.
As far as going through the tags, you could use ..
var x = $("#myTags").tagit("assignedTags");
Make it as an input field, and that ensures its "singleFieldNode" meaning tags are , (comma) separated. That way you can parse through it (split for commas(,) into an object, or however you want to do it)
PS: To apply any of the snippets above, simply change to the "id" of the HTML element that contains TagIt, and your code would work correctly.

I'd like to have a link generated with BlueCloth that opens in a new window. All I could find was the ordinary [Google](http://www.google.com/) syntax but nothing with a new window.
Ideas?

Here is a complete reference for markdown: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
And since there is no mention of how to set the target attribute, I would believe it is not directly possible, but the reference also says:
For any markup that is not covered by
Markdown’s syntax, you simply use HTML
itself. There’s no need to preface it
or delimit it to indicate that you’re
switching from Markdown to HTML; you
just use the tags.
Source: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html
So I would suggest you have to use the html syntax for links like this
update
if you wrap the markdown generated content in a div with a specific id like this:
and you use jQuery, you can add the following javascript:
$('#some_id a').attr('target','_blank');
Or you can save the BlueCloth output in a variable before outputting.
markdown_generated_string.gsub!(/<a\s+/i,'<a target="_blank" ')
