[Xerte] Re: Desktop Xerte 2.17 -- having trouble reading data from external script

[Julian Tenney]

onData is when the raw text is received, onLoad after it’s been processed into a loadVars object. XML has the same thing, so you an get at the raw text before anything tries to turn it into xml (the wizard does it to escape stuff that will break the XML if you let it try and make a new XML() straight away).

It’s handy if you want to use xml / loadVars to load things that aren’t xml / loadVars

On load doesn't have to succeed?

What's the diff between onData and onLoad?

It's working in my stripped down version on localhost. One difference: instead of trying to display the rawData (I haven't attempted any parsing yet) in the script attached to the event response, I'm exiting the response and then doing my textIconID.appendText(rawData) -- I'll let you know if moving my parsing routine to a script following the interaction resolves the problem in my full application.
