Problem while parsing a simple XML file

I have an XML file "r1.xml"

<root>
    <val>Value1</val>
    <val1>value2</val1>
</root>

Code (markup):

I have an ASP script file as below

dim rootName12

 Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
 Set objLst = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
 objXML.async = False
 objXML.Load (Server.MapPath("r1.xml"))
 If objXML.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
	 'handle the error
 End If
 
Set rootName12 =  objXML.documentElement

Set nm= rootName12.childNodes.item(0).tagName [B]' I am 'getting error here[/B]

Code (markup):

But i am getting an error like this

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: 'rootName12'



Can anyone help???

thanks

 

After a quick glance, I think the problem is with setting nm, it needs to be declared first, like this:
dim rootName12, nm

If this wasn't the issue, I'll take another look.

 

rootname is uninstantiated ie it has no value - or more specifically type

(sorry I'm vb.net) but it needs to be something like

dim rootname as object (late binding)
or
dim rootname as as xmldocument

or whatever the asp equivalent is!
