I need to know the code I must write to respond xml to a data island as a
result from a src request from the data island.

Thanks so much

Assuming the data island has a src attribute like: "getXML.asp", this ASP
page would do it:

<%@ language="JScript"%>
<%
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DomDocument");
xmlDoc.loadXML("<root>Some XML</root>");
Response.ContentType="text/xml";
xmlDoc.save(Response);
%>

That is really clear thanks. I also have enjoyed your site.

Will this also work in .net?

Thanks

Well, the code won't work word for word, but yes, the concept is the same no
matter what the server is. The src attribute is looking for an XML document,
but if the URI points to a web server that constructs a dynamic XML document,
or if it's a static XML file, the client doesn't know the difference. In
most cases, it's a good idea to set the contenttype correctly, "text/xml" in
this case.
