    Hi,

    Im creating a forum using xml and asp. in my form to add a new post in my input tags i have the value as <% =Request( "userName" ) %> . This is to retreive the value and put it in a variable username. However, when I view the page my asp code is showing up in the input boxes. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT!! Below is the code for this page. and attached is a screenshot of what I see when I open the asp page.



    <% @LANGUAGE = "VBScript" %>

    <%

    Option Explicit

    Dim xmlFile, xmlRoot, xmlNode
    Dim strTitle, strError, strPath

    If Request( "submit" ) <> Empty Then

    If Request( "file" ) <> Empty And _
    Request( "userName" ) <> Empty And _
    Request( "messageTitle" ) <> Empty And _
    Request( "messageText" ) <> Empty Then

    strPath = Server.MapPath( Request( "file") )

    Set xmlFile = Server.CreateObject( "Microsoft.XMLDOM" )
    xmlFile.Async = False

    If Not xmlFile.Load( strPath ) Then
    Call Server.Transfer( "invalid.html" )
    End If

    'get the root node
    Set xmlRoot = xmlFile.DocumentElement

    'create first message
    Set xmlNode = xmlFile.CreateElement( "message" )
    Call xmlNode.SetAttribute( "timestamp", Now & " EST" )
    Call xmlRoot.AppendChild( xmlNode )

    Set xmlRoot = xmlNode

    'Create User Node
    Call CreateElementNode( "user", "userName", xmlNode )


    'Create Title Node
    Call CreateElementNode( "title", "messageTitle", xmlNode )


    'Create Text Node

    'Save The File
    Call xmlFile.Save( strPath )

    'Finished Processing
    Call Server.Transfer( Request( "file" ) )

    Else
    strError = "ERROR: Invalid input."
    End If

    End If



    ' procedure that creates an element node

    Sub CreateElementNode( elementName, formElement, node )
    Set xmlNode = xmlFile.CreateElement( elementName )
    xmlNode.Text = Request( formElement )
    Call xmlRoot.AppendChild( node )

    You have to create the com object. You are trying to access somethig:
    that you have not created yet.


    <%
    Dim objDom
    Dim objRoot
    Dim objChild1
    Dim objChild2
    Dim objPI
    Set objDom = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
    Set objRoot = objDom.createElement("rootElement")


    If php, this:"If Request( "submit" ) " would have to be "request" or "post", not "submit".

    Here I was going to learn asp and I end up php. But, I have good links:

    It is all on that page. Another good one is
