Hi all

I have searched this, and done some development, but to no avail.

I am looking to import a remote RSS feed, apply an XSLT transformation, and render it, in ASP.

So far I have:

<% 
dim xmlDoc, xslDoc

set xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument")
xmlDoc.async = false
xmlDoc.load("http://www.theregister.co.uk/internet/excerpts.rsset xslDoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument")
xslDoc.async = false
xslDoc.load("render.xsllDoc.transformNodeToObject xslDoc, Response
%>

With a very simple Render.xsl containing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">;xsl:template match="rss/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <xsl:for-each select="item">
    	<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

But upon executing the page I get:

  Quote
Error Type:

msxml3.dll (0x80004005)

The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document.

Any help?

It can, you're just using the wrong component.

MSXML2.DOMDocument is used for local files (as in accessible via the filesystem from the current execute location)

MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP is the kiddie you want to retrieve a remote file. Then you can get the XSL and transform the XML.

    • Meta says you'll soon be getting ads on WhatsApp

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta says you'll soon be getting ads on WhatsApp by David Uzondu No, the headline is not clickbait. WhatsApp is getting ads. For years, the messaging app has been the golden child, bought by Meta for $19 billion back in 2014 and left mostly untouched. That long, ad-free holiday is officially over. Your private chats with friends and family are safe for now, as the ads will not appear there. Instead, they will be sandwiched between Status updates, just like you already see them in Instagram Stories. Apart from ads in Statuses, Meta is also letting people pay to promote their Channels. This means businesses and creators can pay to get their broadcast channels discovered by more users. A few will even be able to charge for subscriptions to their channels for exclusive content. The company says it will not take a fee from these subscriptions at first, but that is probably not going to last forever. Meta is a business, after all, not a charity. Meta has tried to calm everyone down by saying your personal chats and calls will remain encrypted and untouched. The company claims it only uses general information like your country and language, plus the channels you follow, to figure out which ads to show you. However, if you have linked your WhatsApp to Meta's Account Center, then your ad preferences from Facebook and Instagram will follow you. This entire plan certainly excited Wall Street. After the news broke, Meta's stock climbed 2.8% in pre-market trading, as investors salivated over the prospect of finally monetizing WhatsApp's 2 billion+ users. Ads in messaging apps are not new at all. Take Telegram, for example. The app shows sponsored messages in large public channels, but it also gives users a way out. For a monthly fee, you can get Telegram Premium, and all those ads disappear (plus a bunch of advanced paid features). Maybe, in the future, WhatsApp will offer a similar premium service for people willing to pay to escape the ads.

      "The T1 phone will be designed and built in America." I was looking for this information and wasn't disappointed! 👍🏻
