Parsing XML with ASP?

NeoTurtle · Mar 20, 2003

I've tried looking up info and can't really seem to get a grasp on how XML works... can someone show me how to parse this into a table?

-----------------------------
<character name="Alexianna Summerbreeze" id="322413" laston="2_Weeks">
<race>Saracen</race>
<class>Infiltrator</class>
<level>50</level>
<guildrank>4</guildrank>
<totalrp>13284</totalrp>
<lastweekrp>1451</lastweekrp>
<totaldeaths>89</totaldeaths>
<lastweekdeaths>5</lastweekdeaths>
<anon>True</anon>
</character>

-----------------------
<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" for="window" event="onload">
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot

;
xmlDoc.async="false";
xmlDoc.load("data/1552.xml&quot

;

nodes = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes;

race.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("race&quot

.item(0).text
//class.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("class&quot

.item(0).text
level.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("level&quot

.item(0).text
guildrank.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("guildrank&quot

.item(0).text
totalrp.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("totalrp&quot

.item(0).text
lastweekrp.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("lastweekrp&quot

.item(0).text
totaldeaths.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("totaldeaths&quot

.item(0).text
anon.innerText = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("anon&quot

.item(0).text
</script>

<title>DR</title>
</head>

<body>
<TABLE BORDER="1">
<TR>
<TD><span id="race"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="class"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="level"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="guildrank"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="totalrp"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="lastweekrp"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="totaldeaths"></span></TD>
<TD><span id="anon"></span></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

</body>
</html>

In general you do a transform and then set only a single element.innerHTML to the result of the transform.

There are all sorts of examples at

Also check the sites that are in the "Partners" box at the bottom of the left column of this web site.
