ASP XML Support - Generate XML string from FORM DATA based on XML schema

[Matt]

I have 2 ASP pages. page1.asp will generate a xml string from form data
based on the XML schema, and then submit to page2.asp. My question is if ASP
has XML support, so that given form data, it will generate a XML string
based on the XML schema?

The picture is like this:

Form Data, XML Schema -> ASP Function -> XML string

The problem is JavaScript doesn't have XML support.

Please advise. Thanks!!

Ummm, there are many XML schemas ...

Of course it does. The same way that vbscript does: by using the MSXML
Parser.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you know how to use the MSXML Parser?
Perhaps you should be starting in an XML newsgroup. Better yet, go here and
start reading:

Google will find you more information.

Thanks Bob.

I used MSXML parser to parse XML data in ASP before. I guess what you meant
is like this:

Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

But all I did was to parse the XML file and retrieves the data. Now my case
is to generate a XML string based on the XML schema provided. I don't know
there are many XML schemas out there. So u think it has those API calls for
that?

The xml property of the XML Document contains the xml string. Is that what
you're asking?
