The content of the ASP page can be read from an xml file. This helps
you in many ways. With this method you are free to alter only the xml
file content which can also be done programmatically so that the end
user who updates the content need not work with the page design. Hence
it is wise to display the content from an xml file if you are going
to keep on changing the content constantly.
_______________________________________________
The steps involved in using an xml file to display the content of a
page are very simple if you are using ASP as the front end. All you
have to do is to create an xml document object using the Server.CreateObject
command. Once you have created the object you can use the object's Load
command to load the xml file.
Use Server.MapPath to get the physical path to the xml file. Once you
have loaded the xml file, now your job involves navigating through the
xml file to the contents of each node and then displays it in the page.
For example if xmlobj is the xml object then you can use the command
like,
xmlobj.documentElement.childNodes(1).text
to get the text in the element 1 (the second node).
