I'm working on a page that requests variables from an .asp form page, then ships the variables to the next page via XML. Here's a snippet of the code with the pertinent fields.

This page works just fine as long as the variable is coded in, but when I try to reference the ASP variable, it fails.

Any ideas on how to make this asp page put the xml variables through to the next page properly?

productid = Request.QueryString("productid")


strXML = strXML & "<productid>A1b23C4</productid>" & vbcrlf


If I try to do this: strXML = strXML & "productid" & productid & "</productid>" & vbcrlf
it fails.

HELP PLEASE.

You REALLY don't see any difference there??????
Honest, XML *does* pay attention to the < and > markers.

Sorry about that...sometimes my fingers just dont do what I tell them to.

What I 'meant' to type was:



strXML = strXML & "<productid>" & productid & "</productid>" & vbcrlf

Is this the correct syntax?

Thanks!

Looks fine to me.

You still get an error? What's the error?

Have you tried viewing the page with FireFox and then doing VIEW==>>PAGE SOURCE from FF? FF will let you see the XML it's trying to display even if the XML is bogus. Makes it much easier to debug. (MSIE will often just refuse to show anything.) I always flip-flop back and forth between FF and MSIE when working with XML because each has some debugging feature the other doesn't.

Oh...and another trick to pull:

Instead of just doing
Response.Write strXML
do
Response.Write Replace( strXML, "<", "&lt;" )
