Hi everyone,
Lately, in a school project I've been working on, which involves using XML files to save information and read it out, as well as dynamically create and delete themselves. It's all been working just fine, until quite recently (today) when I noticed that two XML files had not deleted themselves, like they were supposed to. I went in and deleted them manually, but now they will display themselves whenever I try to display a different XML file with the same identification. Here's my XML file template that they copy from:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <msg> <to>template</to> <toid>0</toid> <from>template</from> <fromid>0</fromid> <title>template</title> <text>template</text> <archived>false</archived> <replyto>N/A</replyto> <id>0</id> </msg>
And here's my display code (Whole webpage in this case):
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<script src="xml.js"></script>
<script>
function loadmsg() {
m = document.getElementById("messageid");
f = document.getElementById("from");
t = document.getElementById("title");
tt = document.getElementById("text");
p = document.getElementById("everything");
if (m.innerHTML != "") {
if (localStorage.name == loadXMLDoc("msg"+m.innerHTML+".xml").getElementsByTagName("to")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue) {
p.removeChild(document.getElementById("msgloadthing"));
x = loadXMLDoc("msg"+m.innerHTML+".xml");
f.innerHTML = x.getElementsByTagName("from")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
t.innerHTML = x.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
tt.innerHTML = x.getElementsByTagName("text")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
else {
}
}
else if (m.innerHTML == "") {
}
m.innerHTML = "";
}

And last, but not least, the deletion code:

I'm fully aware that the website is not built in the best way, so over the summer I'm planning on fixing a lot of it. I just can't seem to figure this out though. Thanks!
..I'm learning. lol
