FN-FORUM: ASP XML question

date posted 1st June 2005 17:31

I'm trying to parse some XML with ASP (classic, not .Net)... it's almost
all cracked except I need to get at an attribute of a node that may or
may not be there, and I need to find a way of checking whether it's
there before I try and get the data out of it, otherwise I get an error.

So...

The bit of XML might look like this:






Or it might be missing the 'C' node all together.

Normally I use objXML.getElementsByTagName("C") then
xmlAttribsNode.getAttribute("SZ") the thing is, if SZ is missing, it
throws an error. So, how do I check if "SZ" exists before I try and get
at it?

If I manage to find the answer through Google I'll post it up, but at
the moment I can't find anything useful.

Thanks
