parsing XHTML document

Jean-Philippe · March 20th, 2006, 06:22 AM

Hi all,

I try to parse a XHTML document with a transitional doctype

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I load the xhtml code in a XMLDOM object, via an ASP page

  Set objDoc = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
  objDoc.async = False
  strFile = str
  objDoc.Load strFile

but the script hangs on and I get the following error

Error: The system cannot locate the resource specified. Error processing resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'.

I test my page on a local server, but my pc is connected to Internet without any restrictions

Any idea?

Thanks (and sorry for my poor english

)

Firstly use a modern parser:

Code:

Server.CreateObject("Msxml.DomDocument.x.0")

where x is the latest version on the server, at least 4 would be nice.

Secondly set validateOnParse to false before loading the document is you don't want it validated against the DTD.
