They do not display anything. Do I have to download something to get these two to link together? I copy and pasted them from w3. I tried a few of my own and didn't get any results either. I'm having trouble finding how to get them to work, I've tried a lot of online sources, most people seem to write the code and it just works. I feel like I have to download some program to run it on or something?

  • Why not use php to read the XML file as a `$xmlfile = new SimpleXMLElement($somestring)` then parse the file with something like, example: `$title = $xmlfile->cd->title`? Then build your HTML page using the php variables you parse from the XML file. – dale landry Nov 02 '20 at 23:17
  • If we're going that route I wouldn't write any xml in the first place – Jake Thorson Nov 02 '20 at 23:18
  • In JS add a new XMLHttpRequest, then `xhttp.open("GET", "untitled-2.xml", true);`, then create a variable `var xmlDoc = xml.requestXML;` do a standard incremental for loop on your `xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('cd').length` then define and create newElement for UL and LI, append your li with the values of CD tags children, so for title it would be => `xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;` and so forth, then append the UL and display in HTML... – dale landry Nov 03 '20 at 00:27
