Inside the XML file I can add albums and images one-by-one which is getting rather tedious. Here's the script: <albums> <album title="New and Hot" description="These are the featured items here on the website"> <image title="Image 1" date="7-11-07" thumbnail="wedding-71107.jpg" image="wedding-71107.jpg"></image> </album> </albums> Now in the past I have used DRW to dynamically add records to javascript menus and such, and I was hoping I could do the same thing here with this gallery. However, it appears I cannot use the ASP inside the XML page...no surprise there I guess. Does anybody out there have any ideas on how I can dynamially list records from my database and inplant them into the XML file? Thanks

If you can point the XML parser to a file other than one with a .XML extension, it should be no problem. I've done it on at least a handfull of occasions. What I did was make the ASP generate the XML but be sure that it only generates the XML stuff and not any of a standard web page stuff. Then just make the parser go to the .ASP file. Many parsers don't really care that it's an ASP file; it only cares that it gets valid XML data. Or you can build it inline on the page that you're using it if that's applicable. For instance, I build charts on an ASP page and just grab the data from the database, build the XML as a string, and substitute the variable directly where you'd normally call a .XML file. Hope that helps. EDIT: One more option; you could use the FSO object to write the .XML file instead. There are usually many ways to 'skin a cat'. < Message edited by rdouglass -- 7/12/2007 15:06:55 > _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination.
