Title: DOM

Something like this...

 

    Dim xmldoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument

    
    xmldoc.Load "c:\temp\test.xml"

 

    Dim firstnames As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNodeList
    Set firstnames = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("firstname")
   
    Dim i As Integer
    i = 0
    Do While i < firstnames.Length
        Response.write firstnames.Item(i).text
        i = i + 1
    Loop

 

--tim

If I have an xml document that looks like this:

<shop>

        <location> US </location>

        <books>

                <title> Snow White </title>

                <author>

                        <firstname> Liza </firstname>

                        <lastname> Baker </lastname>

                </author>

                <author>

                        <firstname> Tanith </firstname>

                        <lastname> Lee </lastname>

                </author>

       

        </books>

</shop>

How can I get the firstnames? I have to display only the first name in asp. I know I have to use something with getelementsbytagname and firstChild.
