I'm trying to read an XML file using ASP (and I'm using the example from here: http://www.15seconds.com/i
Here's my code...
<html>
<head>
<title>Read XML Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Micro
Set objLst = Server.CreateObject("Micro
Set objHdl = Server.CreateObject("Micro
objXML.async = False
objXML.Load (Server.MapPath("mostRecen
' If objXML.parseError.errorCod
' handle the error
' End If
Set objLst = objXML.getElementsByTagNam
noOfHeadlines = objLst.length
%>
<HTML><BODY>
<H1>Scripting News Headlines</H1>
<%
Response.Write(noOfHeadlin
For i = 0 To (noOfHeadlines - 1)
Set objHdl = objLst.item(i)
Response.Write("<a href=""" & _
objHdl.childNodes(1).child
""">" & objHdl.childNodes(0).text & _
"</a><br>")
Next
%>
</body>
</html>
And here's the XML file...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE scriptingNews SYSTEM
"http://www.scripting.com/
<scriptingNews>

I don't think it likes the
<!DOCTYPE scriptingNews SYSTEM "http://www.scripting.com/
if I remove this line, it works fine.
with that declaration, the xml editor in visual studio is complaining about missing elements in the header, specifically a 'docs' element, which looks like is required per the dtd.
if you can, just remove that from the xml, if you can't, I got nothin' :)
Can you write the whole file? To test this you can try this code.
objXML.Load (Server.MapPath("mostRecen
Response.Write Server.HTMLEncode(objXML.x
Response.End
' If objXML.parseError.errorCod
' handle the error
' End If
What are the results? Let me know if you have a question or need more information.
bol
combining some of the ideas above.
uncomment the error handling, and enhance:
If objXML.parseError.errorCod
Response.Write objXML.ParseError.errorCod
Response.Write objXML.ParseError.reason & "<br/>"
Response.Write objXML.ParseError.line & "<br/>"
Response.Write objXML.ParseError.linePos & "<br/>"
Response.Write objXML.ParseError.srcText & "<br/>"
Response.End
End If
gives this result.

it does not like the DOCTYPE entity reference in the XML, I don't know if this is a MSXML bug, or 'feature' but it doesn't like it...
found another way to make it work. but it doesn't seem a whole lot better that removing the DOCTYPE altogether. :)
save the source of the dtd locally, in the same folder as the xml source, name it scriptingNews.dtd, and change the
<!DOCTYPE scriptingNews SYSTEM
"http://www.scripting.com/
to
<!DOCTYPE scriptingNews SYSTEM "scriptingNews.dtd">
it seems there is something about that reference not being on the local machine that the MSXML DOM stuff doesn't like.

Uncomment this block:
' If objXML.parseError.errorCod
' handle the error
' End If
I may be that it is not parsing the file correctly for some reason.
