ASP Not Respecting Response.ContentType

[John Smith]

I am trying to generate an RSS feed with ASP, however, IE will not
display the feed as an XML document, instead returning it as text.

I have <% Response.Buffer = true %> and <% Response.ContentType =
"text/xml" %> at the top of the page, but it does not make a
difference. Netscape/Mozilla recognizes the contenttype and displays
it as XML, and the feed is valid. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you!

Do you see the XML when you view the page source in IE?

Yes, I do, but IE does not display it as an XML page.

Yes, I do, but IE does not display it as an XML page.

OK, can you show us the source?

It looks like I had bad XML data, and that was causing the problem.
Thanks for your help nonetheless
