Pass HTML in XML with Ajax

[xander85]

Hi,

 

I'm using a simple Ajax script that grabs some MySQL data, create an XML tag, and displays in a <span> tag. This works fine. However, when I try to pass html code it doesn't work. So I tried the <![CDATA[ tag and when I look at the raw XML output it looks fine:

 

<LaborValue>
<type>addons</type>
<addons>Add-ons WTD: $600 </addons>
<variance>(33.3% <img src='images/up-arrow.png'>)</variance>
</LaborValue>

 

However, the image doesn't actual show up on my page. Anything after the <![CDATA[ tag actually shows up. Do I need to send the HTML in a different way to actually display the image?

 

The following is the ajax code that actual displays the xml on the page:

 

document.getElementById("lcvalue_addons").innerHTML=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("addons")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue
	+ xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("variance")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

 

Thanks!

Javascript:

 

function updateDiv(req){

document.getElementById('divElementIDHere').innerHTML = req.responseText;

}

My response from the server is in XML format, not just HTML. I tried using that but it returns "undefined".
