hey. i’m generating an xml file with asp (it’s getting the data from a database). the asp-generated xml looks great in a browser, looks exactly like the original xml file. so i know that’s not the problem.

i have a loadData function in which i load the xml/asp-generated xml… it loads it regardless, but with the asp-generated xml, it breaks. it seems that it is reading the .asp file straight – not executing it.

because:

objXML.hasChildNodes(): true  
objXML.childNodes(): \<%@Language=VBScript% /\>

any ideas?
