Asp/VB Script Source Codes

Display XML files using ASP

First start your text editor and enter the following , this will be your XML file .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <
news> <item> <title>new domain name</title> <link>
http: //www. techpreparation.com</link> <description> programming tutorials and code</description> </item> 
</news>
Save this as demo.xml for the purpose of this example . 
Now we will look at the ASP page to retrieve these values , we want the title , link and the description .
<% 
Dim objXML 'create an instance of the MSXML parser 
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("microsoft.XMLDOM") 
'load up or XML file , this is stored in the same directory as the script 'in this example 
objXML.Load (Server.MapPath("demo.xml"))
 'if there are no errors If objXML.parseError.errorcode = 0 Then 'strTitle is the value of the child node of the <item> element 
strTitle = objXML.documentElement.firstChild.firstChild.text 
'use the nodeList object , to get the link and description as strings . The index is 'zero based so <link> = 1 and description = 2. 
strLink = objXML.documentElement.firstChild.childNodes(1).Text strDescription = objXML.documentElement.firstChild.childNodes(2).Text 'print out our title response. Write (strTitle & " ") 'print out the URL Response.Write (strLink & " ") 'print the description Response.Write (strDescription & " ") 'if there are errors then we print a message Else Response.Write ("There was an error") End If 'clean up our resources Set objXML = Nothing %>
