I must first state that I am not a champion in programming, although created a handy website using html, php, MySQL and some javascript. Clearly, JS is by far the language I am almost using as a baby !
I have a set of data in a xml file with the following structure (sorry for the bad characters encoding) :
*<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<markers>
<marker lat="50.84310" lng="4.39330" name="7.7cm Sockel Flak 16 RheinMetall" category="FlakKanonen" nation="Allemagne" typecanon="Artillerie de DCA" lieu="Bruxelles - Musée Royal de l'Armée" pays="Belgique" url="../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=170" />
<marker lat="43.13810" lng="-80.26170" name="15cm sFH 13 L/14" category="SchwerenKanonen" nation="Allemagne" typecanon="Artillerie lourde" lieu="Brantford (ON) - Monument" pays="Canada" url="../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=256" />
<marker lat="61.00500" lng="24.45780" name="10cm K 14" category="LeichtKanonen" nation="Allemagne" typecanon="Artillerie légère" lieu="Hameenlinna - Finnish Artillery Museum" pays="Finlande" url="../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=317" />
<marker lat="45.88740" lng="11.04740" name="7cm M 99 GebK" category="GebirgsKanonen" nation="Autriche-Hongrie" typecanon="Artillerie de montagne" lieu="Rovereto - Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra" pays="Italie" url="../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=733" /><marker lat="-35.21550" lng="149.14510" name="13cm K 09 L/35" category="SchwerenKanonen" nation="Allemagne" typecanon="Artillerie lourde" lieu=" Mitchell, ACT - AWM reserve" pays="Australie" url="../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=1519" />

This xml file is used in a javascript code for placing markers on a GoogleMap. Well it used to since the code does not work anymore since GoogleMap migrated to APIV3, without portability of the xml importing function I was using.
I managed to rewrite the map code in the new API v3 language, but I am stuck in what is probably very simple for you : Despite reading tens of similar threads, I am unable to adapt a code in javascript to transfer these xml file data in a javascript array
Here is what I am hoping to create :
* marqueurCanonTest4[0] = {
latitudeCanon: "-34.94570",
longitudeCanon: "138.58050",
nomCanon: "7.7cm FK 16",
categorieCanon: "LeichtKanonen",
nationCanon: "Allemagne",
typeCanon: "Artillerie légère",
lieuCanon: "Adelaide, SA - Keswick Barracks, Army Museum of South Australia",
paysCanon: "Australie",
url: "../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=1"
};
marqueurCanonTest4[1] = {
latitudeCanon: "-36.14640",
longitudeCanon: "146.91680",
nomCanon: "7.7cm FK 16",
categorieCanon: "LeichtKanonen",
nationCanon: "Turquie",
typeCanon: "Artillerie légère",
lieuCanon: "Bandiana, VIC - Army Museum",
paysCanon: "Australie",
url: "../AfficheCanonGET.php?IdCanonAffiche=2"
};
etc…*
Could someone help ?
Thank you
Bernard
I have tried to use xmlhttprequest, but probably incorrectly
