Importing XML to HTML Without a Server

Question

I\'ve been trying to import an XML document into HTML without using a server. I\'m working with standalone computers so I can\'t upload it to any server, which means I can\'t us

Answer 1

One option would be to include the question file as JavaScript content (still in a separate file) instead.

If the content is really simple (eg just a list) then your file could just be a simple array.

var questions = [
  "What time is it?",
  "Is the sky blue?",
  "What do you call a fish with no legs?"
];

You just include this file in your page with a script tag:

If your question structure is more complicated you can include it in a JSON format that allows for complex nesting etc.

var questions = [
  {
    "id":1,
    "question":"What time is it?",
    "datatype":"text"
  },
  {
    "id":2,
    "question":"Is the sky blue?",
    "datatype":"boolean"
  },
  {
    "id":3,
    "question":"What do you call a fish with no legs?",
    "datatype":"text"
  }
];

Either way once the question data is loaded into memory you can randomize the questions and decide which ones to render.
