open XML file

[emms]

Is there any reason I can't do this is Jscript?

XMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"
XMLDoc.async = False;
XMLDoc.load("c:\aspnet\" & Request.Form("FileLocat&quot);
Set rootNode = XMLDoc.documentElement;

I get this error back:

Expected ')'
/home/ViewXML.asp, line 65, column 41
XMLDoc.load("c:\aspnet\" & Request.Form("FileLocat&quot);


If there's a better way please let me know!

this looks fishy
XMLDoc.load("c:\aspnet\" & Request.Form("FileLocat&quot);

maybe suppose to be
XMLDoc.load("c:\aspnet\" + Request.Form("FileLocat&quot + &quot";
or simply
XMLDoc.load(Server.MapPath(Request.Form("FileLocat&quot);

not sure on jscript using the eval function but you may also need this in there.

thanks, I've taken that bit out (moved the file to the same folder).

now I've got:

XMLDoc = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM" XMLDoc.async = false;
XMLDoc.Load(Request.Form("FileLocat&quot);
rootNode = XMLDoc.documentElement;

and it's telling me "Object doesn't support this property or method" on the XMLDoc.Load() line...

do you know anywhere that could give me examples of how to open xml files in asp using JScript. had a search but i can't find anything!

thanks for your help

that's great thanks!

just solved my own problem (well that one anyway).

I needed to put the Server.MapPath that you suggested in!

thanks for your time
