Getting
xml data into an asp page is easy. The steps involved in this process
are first to create an xml document object and load the xml file that
has data into it.
_______________________________________________
Once you
have loaded the xml document in to the document object, then you can
navigate through the nodes and the content of the nodes are assigned
to the variables you have declared. These variables are used in the
body of the asp page to be displayed wherever you want.
We use
the Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") command to create
and xml object into which we will be loading the xml file. Use the Load
method of the XMLDOM to load the xml file.
Since the
load method takes only the exact physical path to the file, we need
to use the Server.MapPath method to get the exact path of the xml file.
Now use the xmlobject's documentElement.childNodes(n).text to get the
text in the 'n'th node. You can use the xml object's async property
to False to display the content of the xml file as soon as it is read.
This speeds up the display.
