Hello,

I wrote some client-side scripting with javascript that uses the XMLHTTPREQUEST object to fetch xml and format it. It works really well in handling Google data if the file is saved with an XML file extension, but for some reason I cannot get it to get the data when i directly use the XML address provided by google.

Here is the address i'm using:

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/bapsacramento.org...@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic

when i load up the page it attempts to save as a basic file (no file extension). How do i go about getting the XML raw from google using javascript? Do i have to change my approach of using the xmlhttprequest object?

thanx

here is a sample of the code i'm using:

<code> function loadRSS(rssfile, divSrc, isGoogleCalendar) { //dimension the AJAX if (window.ActiveXObject) //IE xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); else if (window.XMLHttpRequest) //other xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); else { divSrc.innerHTML="Your browser does not support RSS"; //cancel request return false; } //open the xml file xhr.open("GET",rssfile,true);

xhr.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); xhr.setRequestHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (xhr.readyState == 4) //document loaded { if (xhr.status == 200) //active page/conection { var chk = new String; chk = xhr.responseText; if (xhr.responseText != null) //is file empty { if (chk.indexOf("<?xml") >= 0 && chk.indexOf("<?xml") < 5) // make sure file is valid xml { if (isGoogleCalendar==true) processGoogle( xhr.responseXML, divSrc); else processRSS( xhr.responseXML, divSrc); } } else divSrc.innerHTML="Error Retrieving Data"; } else divSrc.style.display = "none"; //no data to display }

} xhr.send(null); }</code>
