Create a XML Document using an ASP

I am in trouble trying to create a XML Document using an ASP file

I am trying to get this simple XML file:
"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data><![CDATA[i]]></data>
"

Well... I write this code in ASP:

"
<% @language=VBScript%>
<%
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
%>

<%
response.write "<?xml version=""1.0""?>" & vbCrLf
Response.write "<dat>"
response.write "<![CDATA[i]]>"
response.write "</dat>"
%>
"

and I get the following error message :

"
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/file001.asp'. Line 2, Position 15

<dat><![CDATA[
"

If I specify the codepage for the page:
"
<% @language=VBScript% @codepage=65001>
<%
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
%>

<%
response.write "<?xml version=""1.0""?>" & vbCrLf
Response.write "<dat>"
response.write "<![CDATA[i]]>"
response.write "</dat>"
%>

then I get a different error :
"

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0203'

Invalid Code Page

/prueba.asp, line 1

The specified code page attribute is invalid.

"

The ASP file is running under NT workstation 4.0 (service pack 6a) and the last Option Pack(with PWS). Should I upgrade to Windows 2000 to be able to generate XML from ASP? Or maybe install the IIS 4.0...

Thanks in advanced

Hey,
Did you try taking out the 'i'?
<%
response.write "<?xml version=""1.0""?>" & vbCrLf
Response.write "<dat>"
response.write "<![CDATA[]]>"
response.write "</dat>"
%>
and also at the top you wrote <data>, but then you write <dat>. Try to be consistent.

Well, I wrote this message because the problem is "i". I know if I try to write another thing it works but it doesnt with "i" or "a" or "e"...

And I am consistent...the example was it and the ASP too...

There is nothing wrong with your code at all.. you are using an older version of the browser. Update to IE 5.5 sp2 or higher. the parser your version of IE does not understand the code its recieving... this should fix your problem.
