Save XML file with DOM

[berian]

Hi!
I´m writting an application that uses a short XML file to store names and propierties of users:

<list>
<user name=&quot;John Smith&quot;>
<prop1/>
<prop2/>
...
</user>
</list>

Now I need to add more users and saving the new configuration in the same file, where the old was. I do that with DOM in VBScript and works fine until I try to save with the instruction XMLDoc.save(&quot;file.xml&quot
I´ve tried to do that throug remote scripting (running the funtion in an ASP file and calling it from the HTML page), but it doesn´t work.

Could anyone give me some new idea?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi.

Try,

XMLDoc.save(Server.MapPath(&quot;file.xml&quot)

Hi.

In server side script that run in ASP page you should use the server object to save an xml document, 'cause it has the neccessary privilages to save an file on the server.

exam.:

<Script Language=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;SERVER&quot;>

dim xmlDoc
xmlDoc=Server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot //it's an older version of DOMDocument. for updates see Microsoft updates MSXML3.0
//any changes ....

xmlDoc.save(Server.MapPath(&quot;myXML.xml&quot)

</Script>
