viewing xml generated ver 4.5

Hello everyone,

very basic question but have no idea.

How are you guys able to debug the xml.

I've read people saying that when they view the generated xml they see the following nodes.

how are you doing this?

i've been working on a site over weekend.

here's some xslt:

<xsl:variable name="imageRoot" select="$currentPage/gallery"/>
<xsl:variable name="mediaItems" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageRoot, true())"/>

i want to know what nodes are returned by $mediaItems i.e. folder node, Image node, image props..

but I want to see this visually.

<xsl:copy-of select="$mediaItems "/> just return something like /media/80/xyz.jpg8181819

rememebr i am a newbie, so any help much appriciated.

Hi Sajid,

Actually, if you view-source on that, you will see the XML - but if you put that in a textarea instead, you can see the data - try this:
```
<xsl:if test="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('showxml') = 'yes'">
    <textarea rows="8" cols="40"><xsl:copy-of select="$mediaItems" /></textarea>
</xsl:if>
```
That way, you can always see the XML just by adding ?showxml=yes to the URL...

/Chriztian

PS: You can also try installing my XMLDump package - just search for it in the Projects section :-)

Hey Sajid,

There is a checkbox with "encode/decode result" on the right. Click it and you wil see the source of the result. (and thus the xml)

Hi Neils,

How do I get this dialogue box up, and does it give me the xslt result i.e. the HTML or the xml. As what I want to see is the structure of the nodes.

the reason why i want to see the node structure is so that i can get more familiar with the new schema. so any other tips would be most appreciated.
