Sorry, I got a bit off hand with this tutorial. Though I saw some really horrible examples today on how to show an RSS feed using XMLDom so I just couldn?t stand not writing something about it. Imagnine a script that selects all nodes (XPath query was something like ?//*?), not carring where in the document, then looping them thru looking at their names and guessing what they are and then adding them to four separate strings with some weird separator. After doing this, they split the strings into four arrauys and started looping out the content. Oh please, it was horrible. No real sense of XML at all I?m afraid . I know there are better resources then that on the net, but I still felt I had to contribute with just one more.

If you never heard of RSS earlier, you are ethier very ignorant to what happens on the web these days and/or you are stuck running Internet Explorer which lacks any built in support for it. It all comes down quite easy though. An RSS feed is an online news syndication in the XML format. The main idea is to have a standardized way to share news over the net. I for an instance offers my articles as an RSS feed so people easily will know when I?ve written something new. For those who want to dive deeper into RSS I would recommend ?What Is RSS? over at XML.com.

I thought that it might also be a good idea to show a short RSS feed with only one news item in it so you know what source we are working with

This is the second article in my series about XML, XMLDom and ASP. For those who missed the first it?s avaible here

In my first article I showed how to parse an XML document using XMLDom and displaying the data. In this second tutorial I?ll show two different ways to retrieve an XML document from a remote server using ASP and ServerXMLHTTP.

XML is a great way to share information. However, if you want to be able to share it people will need to retrieve the data from you somehow (or you from them). For this purpose we have an object called XMLHTTP or, if used on a server, ServerXMLHTTP. Since both XMLDom and XMLHTTP are part of MSXML2 they can cooperate very nice. XMLDom can by auto use XMLHTTP to retrieve information and if you use XMLHTTP it can by auto return a XMLDom object with the retrieved XML data.

The easiest way to retrieve XML from an external site is to let the XMLDom handle it all. This requries the least amount of code and I would guess that it?s also a tiny bit more effective resource wise. Here is how to do it:

A module that extracts or pulls live YAHOO RSS News Feeds that you can use on your own website. This free tutorial code demonstrates the use of Microsoft's XML and document objects: MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP, Microsoft.xmlDOM, and RSS.

This code shows you how to have full control of the XML data that is returned live by Yahoo News. You can iterate through each news feed and custom format the header, the body and the publication date.
You can customize the news feeds to look like the rest of your website and the real beauty of it is that you don't have to worry about the contents of your news page. You will have fresh content everyday!

Step back - What is RSS?

By Yahoo definition: RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" -- it's a format for distributing and gathering content from sources across the Web, including newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

Web publishers use RSS to easily create and distribute news feeds that include links, headlines, and summaries. The Christian Science Monitor, CNN, and CNET News are among the many sites that now deliver updated online content via RSS.

Yahoo! News offers dozens of RSS feeds you can read in My Yahoo! or using third-party RSS news reader software. This free tutorial will teach how you can use RSS with Yahoo! News using VBSCRIPT, ASP and XML.

By now, most of our readers are familiar, at least in principle, with XML - the w3c's platform neutral data markup language. However not everyone knows how to use XML with ASP. In this article, I'll run you through using ASP and JScript to open and read XML files. in the next article, I'll show you how to create and modify XML with ASP.

The example I'm going to show you is in use on my office intranet, for the purposes of identifying who is logged in. since all the machines in the office have a static, unique IP, I've used Request.ServerVariables("remote_host") to identify the machine, and XML to map machine to user. It's a little courtesy app, and also allows me to restrict administrative functions to only five machines in the entire office.
