Reading an XML file in ASP (classic)

Hi,

I am using classic ASP, but am relatively new to it. I would like to read in an XML file for an image placeholder that displays a different image depending on the page number. Also have a default image if none is available in the XML. The XML will be similar to this...

<items>
      <item>
            <page_number>1</page_number>
            <image>/assets/image1.jpg</image>
      </item>
      <item>
            <page_number>2</page_number>
            <image>/assets/image2.jpg</image>
      </item>
</items>

But this can change to a better format should it need to.

Any help to start off would be great thanks.
