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!

Reading XML problem with invalid character

Asked by jinn_hnnl in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Active Server Pages (ASP), VB Script

Tags: , , ,

Hi,
I am developing a web application using ASP and VBScript.
I have to read an XML data returned from another third party company using SAP.
The XML data looks like:

<eQuoteCustomer>
   <KISno>114735</KISno>
   <SAPno>73990</SAPno>
   <Type>Installation</Type>
   <Companyname>ETIC</Companyname>
   ...........

The whole job has been finished. Most of the returned XML files can be read without problem except those which contains some reserved character (like & ). So the following XML will cause the error:

<eQuoteCustomer>
   <KISno>114735</KISno>
   <SAPno>73990</SAPno>
   <Type>Installation</Type>
   <Companyname> CIAC & SO </Companyname>
....

I got this error : object required  objXML.documentElement. When ever the XML file contains:  &

How should I fix this problem?

Thanks,

Function LoadCustomerData(ByRef objTpl, ByVal kisNo)

	Dim sapNo, customerType, relative, address, postcode
	Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
	objXML.async = false
	
	strPath = strDirCRMData & "eQuote" & kisNo & ".xml"
	
	If CheckFileExists(strPath) Then 
		objXML.Load(strPath)		
		sapNo = objXML.documentElement.childNodes(1).text
		customerType = objXML.documentElement.childNodes(2).text
		relative = objXML.documentElement.childNodes(3).text
