    Hi,
    I want jqxDataTable to show data from a xml file. With a simple xml file everything works well but mine is a little more complex.

    My xml file is:

    <St>
    <Building id="A">
    <properties>
      <Company>Alfreds Futterkiste</Company>
      <ContactName>Maria Anders</ContactName>
      <ContactTitle>Sales Representative</ContactTitle>
    
      <Company>Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados</Company>
      <ContactName>Ana Trujillo</ContactName>
      <ContactTitle>Owner</ContactTitle>
    </properties>
    </Building>
    
    <Building id="B">
    <properties>
      <Company>Antonio Moreno Taquería</Company>
      <ContactName>Antonio Moreno</ContactName>
      <ContactTitle>Owner</ContactTitle>
    
      <Company>Around the Horn</Company>
      <ContactName>Thomas Hardy</ContactName>
      <ContactTitle>Sales Representative</ContactTitle>
    </properties>
    </Building>
    
    <Building id="C">
    <properties>
      <Company>Berglunds snabbköp</Company>
      <ContactName>Christina Berglund</ContactName>
      <ContactTitle>Order Administrator</ContactTitle>
    </properties>
    </Building>
    </St>

    I have the following code for the datatable:

    $(document).ready(function () {
            var url = "customers.xml";
    
            // prepare the data
            var source =
            {
                datatype: "xml",
                datafields: [
                    { name: 'id', map: '[id]', type: 'string' },
                    { name: 'ContactName', map: 'properties>ContactName', type: 'string' },
                    { name: 'ContactTitle', map: 'properties>ContactTitle', type: 'string' }
                ],
                root: "St",
                record: "Building",
                url: url
            };
            var dataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(source);
    
            // Create jqxGrid
            $("#dataTable").jqxDataTable(
            {
                width: 850,
                source: dataAdapter,
                pageable: true,
                pagerButtonsCount: 10,
                columnsResize: true,
                columns: [
                  { text: 'Company Name', datafield: 'id', width: 250 },
                  { text: 'Contact Name', datafield: 'ContactName', width: 250 },
                  { text: 'Contact Title', datafield: 'ContactTitle', width: 250 }
                ]
            });
        });

    The problem is that it only show 3 records (Alfreds, Antonio & Berglunds) So it means it can’t read the 2nd record under the same building attribute. How can I make it show it without changing my xml file?

    Thanks

    Hi tranen,

    Unfortunately, without changing your XML, you would not be able to load all contacts. Each Building tag encompasses a single record, as far as the data adapter is concerned, because of the setting record: "Building".
