Hi, I need to capture the value of an attribute in the XML file.

For example, the XML file contains:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;ISO-8859-1&quot; standalone=&quot;yes&quot; ?>
<Clients>
<Client>
<ClientId>P9990000000041</ClientId>
<Speciality Speciality=&quot;1&quot;>Computer science</Speciality>
<MaritalSta MaritalSta=&quot;2&quot;>Single</MaritalSta>
<AprobDate />
<BirthDate>1960-01-01</BirthDate>
...
</Client>
</Clients>


I need to capture the value &quot;1&quot; of the &quot;Speciality&quot; attribute.
Which is the best way to do it?

Some part of my ASP source code is:

Dim oXMLdoc
Dim AtriXML

Set oXMLdoc = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot;)
oXMLdoc.async = False
oXMLdoc.Load(Server.MapPath(&quot;Files/ClientData.xml&quot;))
Set currNode = oXMLdoc.documentElement

For i = 0 To currNode.childNodes.length - 1
If currNode.hasChildNodes Then
For j = 0 To currNode.childNodes.Item(i).childNodes.length - 1
Response.Write(currNode.childNodes.Item(i).childNodes.Item(j).nodeName &amp; &quot;: &quot;)
Response.Write(currNode.childNodes.Item(i).childNodes.Item(j).nodeTypedValue)
Set AtriXML = currNode.Attributes.item(1) ' Is it good???
Set VarValue = AtriXML.NodeValue ' Is it good???
 
Just use the getAttribute method.
For example childNodes.Item(j).getAttribute(&quot;Speciality&quot;)
