Here is a first implementation of the XMLElement. This one is just a first test of instance creation.

It will evolv in the new few days.

//XMLElement constructor
this.XMLElement = function XMLElement(parent, file){
// Don't know if Internet Explorer has to be managed.
// Don't know yet how the parent element will be usefull because methods of the object are not calling it
this.parent = parent;
try{
xmlDoc=document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);
}
catch(e){
alert(e.message);
return;
}
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load(file);
// All this methods declaration should be filled next.
//This method must return the number of children of the interrogated node.
this.getChildCount = function getChildCount(){
return this.childNodes.length;
};
//This method must return the child at the given index.
this.getChild = function getChild(index){
return this.childNodes[index];
};
this.getChild = function getChild(path){};
//This method must return all children as an XMLElement Array.
this.getChildren = function getChildren(){};
this.getChildren = function getChildren(path){};
//Returns the content of an element. If there is no such content, null is returned.
this.getContent = function getContent(){};
//Returns an integer attribute of the element.
//If the default parameter is used and the attribute doesn't exist, the default value is returned.
//When using the version of the method without the default parameter, if the attribute doesn't exist, the value 0 is returned.
//Don't understand that one ...
this.getIntAttribute = function getIntAttribute(name){};
this.getIntAttribute = function getIntAttribute(name, defaultValue){};
//     Returns a float attribute of the element.
//If the default parameter is used and the attribute doesn't exist, the default value is returned.
//When using the version of the method without the default parameter, if the attribute doesn't exist, the value 0 is returned.
this.getFloatAttribute = function getFloatAttribute(name){};
this.getFloatAttribute = function getFloatAttribute(name, defaultValue){};
//Returns a String attribute of the element.
//If the default parameter is used and the attribute doesn't exist, the default value is returned.
//When using the version of the method without the default parameter, if the attribute doesn't exist, the value 0 is returned.
this.getStringAttribute = function getStringAttribute(name){};
this.getStringAttribute = function getStringAttribute(name, defaultValue){};
//Returns the name of the element
this.getName = function getName(){};
return xmlDoc;
};
