Can anyone guide me to a resource for learning how to extract a URL
from an XML page using ASP 3.0 code?

This link below is an Amazon web services link that produces an XML
page. The resulting XML page has another URL embedded within it that I
need to extract and use to redirect the site to it's final URL
destination.

http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/...ty=1&Item.3.ASIN=B000BOLJ64&Item.3.Quantity=1

set urlnode = xmldoc.selectSingle Node("/CartCreateResponse")
url=urlnode.getAttribute("xmlns")

set urlnode = xmldoc.selectSingle Node("/CartCreateResponse")
url=urlnode.getAttribute("xmlns")

I dont understand what this is. Where does my URL go? Where do you
specify the data you ant to extract in the URL?

OK, I read up on the XML DOM and I coded this. However, I get the
message

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required
/amazon_cart.asp, line 17


Line #17 is the url = urlnode.getAttribute("xmlns") coded line as
shown below......


<html>

<head>
<title>Amazon Cart</title>
</head>

<body>

<%
Dim objXML
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0")
objXML.async = False
objXML.Load("http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?
Service=AWSECommerceService&AWSAccessKeyId=ACCESSID&Operation=CartCreate&Item.
1.ASIN=B000E73MO0" &_
"&Item.1.Quantity=1&Item.2.ASIN=B00005T3E4&Item.
2.Quantity=1&Item.3.ASIN=B000BOLJ64&Item.3.Quantity=1")

Set urlnode = objXML.selectSingleNode("/CartCreateResponse")
url = urlnode.getAttribute("xmlns")
Response.Write url

Set objXML = Nothing
%>

</body>

Is this code compatible with the 3.0 ver of DOM? Could it be something
needed on the hosted server side? I use DiscountASP.net which just
about covers all technologies.....

The error you are getting is due to the urlnode being Nothing. This is in
turn is due to the XML not containing a CartCreateResponse root node.
Which is probably because the Load failed. Load returns true if it has
successfully loaded the content.

After calling objXML.load you should check objXML.parseError.errorCode is 0.
If not then there was a problem loading or parsing the document.
objXML.parseError.reason will specify what went wrong.

Note before calling load you should use this line of code:-

objXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True

Try using:-

Response.Write objXML.parseError.reason

just to see if things are OK.

Then try:-

Response.Content-Type = "text/xml"
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"
objXML.save Response

to see the actual XML received.

Once you're happy you getting the expected XML you can change your code to
start actually using it.

I used the objXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True right before
the XML load and this worked - I recvd back the contents of the xmlns
tag in my browser. Thank you!

However, I really need to grab the PurchaseURL in tis XML (shown
below) and submit it automatically to the browser. I suspect that I
will use a Response.Redirect to submit the PurchaseURL, but I need to
understand how to get to it first.

I looked on the web for SlectSingleNode syntax and I've had a real
hard time getting good information on it for beginners. I've also read
through XML DOM in W3 Schools, but have yet to find out how the
SelectSingleNode parameters works. I suspect that I'm using the
correct function by using SelectSingleNode (If I'm wrong, please
advise).

I really just need to understand how to navigate through the nodes to
grab what I want. Any examples would be appreciated.

If you want to understand what selectSingleNode is doing you also need to
read w3schools XPath tutorial. However be aware that they've updated it to
reflect XPath 2.0 but MSXML only supports XPath 1.0. In fact by default
MSXML 3 use XSL pattern as a selection language. Since the query path in
this case is so simple this doesn't matter. However to use other features
of XPath you would need another setProperty call:-

objXML.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"

or if you know your ISP has MSXML 6 installed use the .6.0 ProgIDs instead.


BTW, does anybody know why Outlook Express sometimes fails to indent quoted
text?

Anthony,

Thank you. I will try your code and recommended reading and post the
results.

For OL2003 ( I suspect similar options in OE)......

Yes I've got those settings already it's just that with some messages it
just fails to kick in. Wierd.
