Help with W3 Schools XML Tutorial

jamieh

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a W3 Schools tutorial working on my pc but it's not working for me.

Here's the tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_savedata.asp

I'm trying to get the "Real form example" to work.

I've created a customer.htm file and a saveForm.asp file in the same directory.

When I click submit on the html form I'm get a HTTP 500 - interal server error.

Could someone have a quick look at the code in the tutorial and tell me what I'm doing wrong...thanks a mill.

A few things I did to get this working:

1) On line 5:

On Error Resume NextSet xmlDoc = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

This should be 2 lines:

On Error Resume Next
Set xmlDoc = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

2) Put a better error message in (last few lines) - the line in bold will print out the reason for the error.

if err.number<>0 then
  response.write("Error: No information saved.")
  [B]Response.write err.description[/B]
else
  response.write("Your information has been saved.")
end if

3) The reason I got was "access denied", so I changed the properties of the folder I was working in so the Internet User Guest account had write privileges, and it worked fine then.

Edit - I also changed the script so the XML file is written to the same folder as the currently running script:
line 33:

xmlDoc.save Server.MapPath("Customer.xml") 'Release all object references

Can I assume this worked for you?
