Parsing XML With VBScript - 3/7/2008 6:58:30 AM

I have googled until I can google no more. I have also searched through this forum and think I'm getting close. I really hope you guys can help me out here.

I am trying to send a GET request to another site and use certain values from the returned XML. I would like to assign those values to variables for later processing.

I have tried using:

This will display the actual XML to the web page. I cannot find any info on how to use the values from that XML. So, I then saved an xml file to my server and tried this I found at DevGuru:

The second code block gets me nothing...no errors - just a blank web page.

My first question is which direction should I even start? The first code block or the second (assuming I can "GET" the XML data from another server using this method)?

Next, is how do I assign the xml values to a variable?

Any help would be so much appreciated.

After browsing around DevGuru some more, I was able to find a link to the following:
http://www.dotnetindex.com/articles/8053_Simple_XML_RSS_Parser.asp

I decided to give that code a try and lo and behold, I started getting results.

To fine tune the code, I then began using this guide:

So far so good. I'm far from finished and may need to ask you guys some questions as I progress along.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
