XML with Jscript

[emms]

Hi,

I'm having trouble finding any resources to help me with this.

I need to open an XML document and display it to the screen using JSCRIPT. The web seems full of info for VBscript but unfortunately that's no good.

Any help would be great!

Emma

The objects and methods that you would use for server-side VBScript are going to have the same names and methods if you use server-side JScript, you just have to be more careful about capitalization.
That means you could take a server-side VBScript example and modify it to JScript by just changing the syntax, ie putting semi-colons on the end of every line, using +'s instead of &'s etc.

I assume you want to run some Javascript ASP to open a server-side XML document?

Just use the MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument object.

e.g. (from memory)

<%
var str_DocName = &quot;myxmldoc.xml&quot;;
var obj_xml = Server.CreateObject(&quot;MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument&quot;
var bln_Parsed = obj_xml.load(Server.MapPath(str_DocName));
if (bln_Parsed) {//do stuff}
else Response.write(obj_xml.ParseError.Reason);
%>

You can add proper try/catches yerself
