XML problems using on ASP page

hallm · Aug 30, 2000

On my online news site I need to be able to retrieve information from a remote xml page that updates every day. The script (which is being used by several sites in our area) works fine when I test it locally, but when I test it on my nt server (I lease server space from another company) I get the following error.

error '800c0007'
/test/start.asp, line 571

Line 571 is the line in my script that defines the remote url. I have the relevant parts of the script below. The network admins (server people) have been working on this for a week and they blame the xml data provider. But it works on my local system (which is only using PWS). Is this me or them? Am I doing something wrong? Any comments would be appreciated.

Complete script:

<%
Dim XML
Set XML = Server.CreateObject("msxml&quot

XML.URL = "

http://www.sra.dst.tx.us:8080/data/xml.asp?datatype=readings&station=toledo_bend";

Dim readings
Set readings = XML.root.children
Dim station
Set station = readings.item(0)
%>
Last modified on <% Response.Write(station.children.item("date&quot

.text)%> 
Elevation: <% Response.Write(station.children.item("elevation&quot

.text)%>
ft msl 
Minimum Temperature: <% Response.Write(station.children.item("min_temp&quot

.text)%>º 
Maximum Temperature: <% Response.Write(station.children.item("max_temp&quot

.text)%>º

I'm wondering how to merge html fragments and layout using XSLT.

Say I have a XML file containing an HTML fragment:

Code:

<root>
   <fragment>
      <B>test</B>
   </fragment>
</root>

BTW, I need to build this XML using the DOM.

And an XSLT:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl&quot;>[/URL]
	<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
	 <html>
	 <body>
            <p><xsl:value-of select=&quot;//fragment&quot;/></p>
	 </body>
	 </html>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

How do I make this work? I've tried a couple of things like using Cdata sections for the Html, but the result is always NOT html, but escaped html. Yours,

Rob.

Hi,

You could do something like this:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl&quot;>[/URL]
    <xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
     <html>
     <body>
	<p>
	<xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;root/fragment/B&quot;/>
        </p>
     </body>
     </html>
    </xsl:template>


    <xsl:template match=&quot;B&quot;>
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:value-of select=&quot;.&quot;/>
	</xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
