[thelist] xmlhttp

[Brian King]

I have to agree.  Server side VBScript should work fine.  MS has some decent
examples out there on using server side VBScript to parse XML.  You
shouldn't use client side VBScripting unless you have some very specific
needs and your environment is controlled, (i.e. all IE, (or all NS users die
a sudden death:)).

Sure will.

You using ASP or client-side VBScript? If the latter, you're
correct. Otherwise, it will work fine in all browsers, considering it's
server-side.

No, though I'm partial to Java's available parsers.
