Pass XML string to ASP Function Problem

[Joe]

This example outputs "XMLString = Data 1Data 2." When I pass XML string in ASP, i
will output the data only, without <data> anymore. Then how can I retrieve the data one by one?
Any ideas? thank

<
strRequestXML = "<data><field1>Data 1</field1><field2>Data 2</field2></data>
Call SaveData(strRequestXML
%><
Function SaveData(XMLString
Response.Write "XMLString = " & XMLStrin
End Functio
%>

When you View Source, the tags will be there

<%

2</field2></data>" Call SaveData(strRequestXML)

Function SaveData(XMLString)
Response.Write "XMLString = " & XMLString
End Function
%>

You need to use an XML Document, and load your xml into it:

set xmldoc = Server.CreateObject("msxml2.domdocument")
xmldoc.loadxml XMLString

Here's an example of using a data island:

If you look at the source, you will see the entire string just as you wrote
it above. The problem is that these are being interpreted by your browser
because they look like HTML elements. If you want print out the string so
it's displayed in the browser, the do this:

Function SaveData(XMLString)
Response.Write "XMLString = " & Server.HTMLEncode(XMLString)
End Function
