conversion of xml to jsp using Javascript

[balamurugan velliambalam]

I am working as a java programmer in a small concern.

Now we started ,new framework ie, if we put an entry in xml it automatically creates a UI according to that entry. I dont have much idea about javascript so kindly suggest me how to proceeds with that and kindly tell how to work with javascript data grids.

XML to JSP with JavaScript? HUH?

JavaScript can not convert stuff to a JSP, it can build HTML DOM objects.

Ya you are right eric,but we put entry like this in xml(our own framework)
<tfw_table_cols ATTRIB_ID ="29" COL_NAME ="REVISION_NO" COL_UNIQID ="N" COL_CAPTION ="Revision Number"
COL_DISPLAYTYPE ="TEXT" COL_DISPLAYFORMAT="NULL" COL_LENGTH="100"
COL_MAXVAL="NULL" COL_ALLOWNULL ="Y" COL_ADD_EDITABLE="0" COL_EDIT_EDITABLE="0" COL_ADD_ENABLE="0"
COL_EDIT_ENABLE="0" COL_ADD_HIDE="1" COL_EDIT_HIDE="1" COL_DEFA ="HQ_DEFA_S_EQN_REVISION_NO+1"/>
where i marked bold revision number it is a caption and col_display type is text means text box. we store all these values in database based upon the values we built UI which more fast than normal because more work done by client side. I hope you understand if you have any doubts regarding this kindly let me know.

So you wrote your own framework that has an XML structure that you did not match up to an existing JavaScript implementation of a grid?

There are plenty more out there if you search.

If you want to write your own, looks like you need to figure out how to read an xml document in JavaScript and convert it over to html.
