JsRender templates for creating SOAP messages to call the QueryEx Search.asmx service

ajax.js

function encodeHTML(str) {
  return str.replace(/&/g,'&amp;').replace(/</g,'&lt;').replace(/>/g,'&gt;').replace(/"/g,'&quot;').replace(/'/g,'&apos;');
}

var queryXml = $('#tmplQueryXml').render({
  'QueryText': $('#txtQueryText').val(),
  'Count': 100,
  'StartAt': 1
});

var soapMessage = $('#soapQueryEx').render({
  'queryXml': encodeHTML($.trim(queryXml))
});

// IE has whitespace after rendering for some reason
// will just keep the trim and change my templates so they look nice
soapMessage = $.trim(soapMessage);

// make the AJAX call to the Search service
$.ajax({ 
  'url': '/_vti_bin/search.asmx',
  'contentType': 'text/xml; charset=utf-8',
  'type': 'POST',
  'data': soapMessage,
  'success': function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    // do stuff with data
    // maybe $(data).find('RelevantResults') ?
  },
  'error': $.proxy(ajaxError, self)
});
