本文所舉的例子與保存HTML格式數(shù)據(jù)至XML類似。在以往當(dāng)表格被提交后,我們通常會創(chuàng)建一個新的文檔,現(xiàn)在只要文檔已經(jīng)存在,那么直接添加就可以了。此種技術(shù)的使用與創(chuàng)建基本數(shù)據(jù)類似。
在前面的文章里,我已經(jīng)演示了如何使用XMLDOM。因此,我們可以直接進入本文的示例。
我們需要考慮的第一件事是我們將用于添加新"記錄"的HTML 表單。在"將HTML表單數(shù)據(jù)保存至XML"例子中我們已使用過此表單,只是更改了文件名,但代碼是相同的。
AddContact.html:
復(fù)制代碼 代碼如下:
html>
head>
title> Contact Information /title>
/head>
body>
form action="processAdd.asp" method="post">
h3>Enter your contact information/h3>
First Name:
input type="text" id="firstName" name="firstName">br> Last Name:
input type="text" id="lastName" name="lastName">br> Address #1:
input type="text" id="address1" name="address1">br> Address #2:
input type="text" id="address2" name="address2">br> Phone Number:
input type="text" id="phone" name="phone">br> E-Mail:
input type="text" id="email" name="email">br>
input type="submit" id="btnSub" name="btnSub" value="Submit">br>
/form>
/body>
/html>
我們設(shè)置此HTML表單是來處理ADD。ASP的。這里的ASP 頁面具有檢測XML.文件及ROLODEX.XML是否存在的功能。如果它們確實存在,ASP則會在文件上附加新的條目,如果文件不存在,則需要創(chuàng)建。
Process Add.asp:

如果你已經(jīng)讀過關(guān)于"將HTML 表單數(shù)據(jù)保存至XML格式"的文章,你會注意到附加到將HTML數(shù)據(jù)擴展到XML文件的代碼與HTML數(shù)據(jù)擴展到新文檔的代碼基本上是一致的。但是這里還是有兩個主要的不同點:
'Call the Load Method of the XMLDOM Object. The Load Method has a
'boolean return value indicating whether or not the file could be
'loaded. If the file exists and loads it will return true, otherwise,
'it will return false.
blnFileExists = objDom.Load(strXMLFilePath "\" strFileName)
'Test to see if the file loaded successfully.
If blnFileExists = True Then
'If the file loaded set the objRoot Object equal to the root element
'of the XML document.
Set objRoot = objDom.documentElement
Else
'Create your root element and append it to the XML document.
Set objRoot = objDom.createElement("contact")
objDom.appendChild objRoot
End If
本節(jié)的代碼來自addNewContacttoXML 功能。因為我們不可能每次都新建一個文件,所以我們改為保存CONTACT。如果能夠LOAD此文件呢,我們則獲得了這個XML文檔的根元素;如果不能夠呢,那么我們就假設(shè)它不存在并創(chuàng)建一個新的要元素并將它附加到XML文檔上。
另外一個主要區(qū)別在于:當(dāng)我們對文件進行二次檢測,是否成功的LOAD,這樣我們可以決定是否需要加上 一條處理指令。如果文件存在,我們就不需要加上這條指令。但是,如果創(chuàng)建了一個新的文件,那么則一定得加上這條處理指令。
'Check once again to see if the file loaded successfully. If it did
'not, that means we are creating a new document and need to be sure to
'insert the XML processing instruction.
If blnFileExists = False then
'Create the xml processing instruction.
Set objPI = objDom.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version='1.0'")
'Append the processing instruction to the XML document.
objDom.insertBefore objPI, objDom.childNodes(0)
End If
除開以上兩點不同之處外,你可以發(fā)現(xiàn) 保存數(shù)據(jù)至新文件的代碼實際上是與 附加新record至存在文件的代碼是一樣的。我們創(chuàng)建一個新的element, contact CONTAINER,以便能容下每個新添的RECORD。代碼將會在Form Collection of the Request Objec中不斷重復(fù)以創(chuàng)建適合的XML節(jié)點并將這些節(jié)點值設(shè)置得與當(dāng)前Form Field.一樣。
如以往一樣,我推薦大家復(fù)制以上代碼至你的 服務(wù)器上并運行。希望以上舉例會對你有所幫助。
