The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XML parsing with many children using ASP/VBscript

Asked by gormly in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: xml, vbscript, parse, asp

I know this is probably simple for many people but I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to work a complex XML file.

I need to load data from an xml file into a database.
I can handle all the database code but parsing the xml document correctly is the tough part.
I cannot seem to find any information on how to parse beyond a parnet and a child.

Here is a sample of the xml:

- <ORDER>
<TimeDate>11-12-07 15:06:01</TimeDate>
<ProMember>1000</ProMember>
<PODate>10-09-07</PODate>
<PONumber>48079</PONumber>
- <SpecialInstructions>
- <Instruction>
- <![CDATA[ MCS]]>
 </Instruction>
</SpecialInstructions>
- <Terms>
- <![CDATA[ 2% 10TH]]>
 </Terms>
<OrderTotal>30.80</OrderTotal>
- <Detail>
- <Product>
- <![CDATA[ 11114-7]]>
</Product>
<Quantity>10</Quantity>
<Cost>3.08</Cost>
- <Description><![CDATA[ BOX FRAME- 11X14]]>
</Description>
- <Product>
</Detail>
 </ORDER>

- <![CDATA[ 3% 10TH]]>
 </Terms>
<OrderTotal>20.80</OrderTotal>
- <Detail>
- <Product>
- <![CDATA[ 11114-7]]>
</Product>
<Quantity>10</Quantity>
<Cost>2.08</Cost>
- <Description><![CDATA[ Circle FRAME- 8X8]]>
</Description>
- <Product>
</Detail>
 </ORDER>

I have to parse the Order details, Time, Member, PO, Terms and Special instructions and then each product included in the order (there could be hundreds).

I cannot seem to get past just the order details themselves, I cannot seem to get the product details at all.
I am totally stuck.  Can someone shed some light?
