asp and rss feeds - ASP / Active Server Pages

Kez Bates

Hi there
I am trying to create a newsfeed on my website. I used the following code
on my website which I found somewhere. I then placed the call to this code
in my web document. It does not appear to work. Am I missing something???
Thanks Kez.

Function getXML(sourceFile)
dim styleFile
dim source, style
styleFile = Server.MapPath("news.xsl")

Dim xmlhttp
Set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "GET", sourceFile, false
xmlhttp.Send

set source = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
source.async = false
source.loadxml(xmlhttp.ResponseText)

set style = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
style.async = false
style.load(styleFile)

getXML = source.transformNode(style)
set source = nothing
set style = nothing
End Function
%>

Make sure the object is installed on the server. I have seen this
happen when the XMLHTTP object isn't installed it just does nothing.

hth,
Andrew

Oh, wait ... you're doing this on the server (duhhh!). You need to use the
ServerXMLHTTPRequest object, not the client-side XMLHTTPRequest object.

Yes, I did realise that I hadn't put in my actual error, but I had already
submitted my question.

I am currently getting the following...
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be
empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document.

Tried your serverside object and it comes up with
error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
Invalid ProgID.

Which microsofts solution to is, and I quote... "You can ignore this error
message. It will go away. "

Hope you can shed some light for me.

Thanks Kez

What do you mean by "does not appear to work"?

If I brought you my toaster and asked you to fix it, what would be your
first question to me? :-)

This sounds like a problem with the xsl document. You might try posting it
at microsoft.public.xsl. I'm not an xsl user.

Oops, I gave you the wrong name for the object: it should have been
ServerXMLHTTP. The correct instantiation is "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP"

Here is an example of its use: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2173
Which microsofts solution to is, and I quote... "You can ignore this

Can you tell me where this "solution" comes from?
