xmlMergeGroupsByID2 (client-side)
Use this routine to merge two sets of XML records containing different information about the same entities, returning the result as an XML document.
One set of records, known as the master set, contains higher-level information about each entity represented in the set. The other set of records, known as the detail set, contains more detailed information about the same set of entities. Both of these sets of records are contained in XML data-islands in the current document.
The records from each set are matched up and merged into a resulting set of records containing two tiers. The first tier contains the higher-level information, and the second tier contains the detailed information.
Definition
function xmlMergeGroupsByID2(sMaster,
sDetail,
sKeyId)
Parameters
- sMaster
A string that matches the id attribute of an XML data-island containing a set of record elements and associated data elements in the standard XML data record format. These record elements contain the data that appears in the first tier of the resulting standard XML data record format, and are considered to contain higher-level information. - sDetail
A string that matches the id attribute of an XML data-island containing a set of record elements and associated data elements in the standard XML data record format. These record elements contain the data that appears in the second tier of the resulting standard XML data record format, and are considered to contain more detailed information. - sKeyId
A string that corresponds to the name of a field element that exists in both of the XML data-islands whose id attributes are passed as the other parameters. The values for this element are used to match up records from one XML data-island with the records in the other.
Return Value
An XML DOMDocument object that contains the merged, two-tiered set of records, represented in the standard XML data record format.
Remarks
This routine is useful for preparing a two-tiered XML data record structure for use by a two-level ListSheet HTC. For more information about how the ListSheet HTC expects its data in one-, two-, and three-tiered data record structures, see ListSheet and HTML Component Data Representation.
For more information about how single-tiered XML data record structures are merged to create two- and three-tiered XML data record structures, see XML Data Merging.
This routine is available in the include file ActionPageUtil.asp.
To minimize the size of action page downloads, this routine is a wrapper function that calls a function with the same name in the file bizdesk.asp. The version in bizdesk.asp takes an additional parameter (oWindow) as its first parameter, and is called using the "parent." notation.
