What to do with DTD?...

[Frank Boumphrey]

So, will u tell me how XML-DTD is going to be used on the server side ?how
Does it interact with Data?

If you are using ASP this is relatively easy to accomplish. You will however
need the new IE5 beta on your system or at least the relevant dll.

Simply load the file as an object, and then use the DOM to traverse the file
and create an HTML stream for old browsers.

for gecko and IE5 you can of course just send the XML file.

Code follows after signature

'load file, note file has tohas to be the physical not virtual path
parser.load("c:\webshare\wwwroot\xml\simple.xml")

'check to make sure the document is loaded

	if parser.parseError.reason="" and parser.readyState=4 then

	else
		response.write parser.parseError.reason

	end if
'test all is working by sending something to the client.

	set rootEl=parser.documentElement
	response.write "<BR>"+rootEl.firstChild.nodeName
