Save Xml

[WStoreyII]

how can i save xml.

if i have an xml file on a server, lets say a dvd collection. and i have a
form that gets information for a new dvd and i append this dvd to the dom.
This i can do no problem so far using javascript the only thing that i can
not do is save the changes this is easy in vb.net and c# but seeing as i
have to work with the server its a whole new world. I dont want to have to
use asp or anything that requiers expensive software and or ides. If it can
be done with jscript this would be great. or does this sort of thing depend
on the server itself?

Thanks for the help please feel free to email me with any thoughts and or
suggestions @ papastoreyii@sb cglobal.net

You do understand that JavaScript runs on the client? If you want the
changes to be permanent, they must be stored on the server. PHP, Perl,
and Java (either as Servlets or JSP) are all free. Check your host to see
which of these technologies they allow.

Re: Save Xml

Yes,
i do know that it is a client side and that is why i was tyring to figure
out how i do save it the problem is that i dont right now have a server and
would like to figure out how to do it so that i can decide which technology
i am comfortable with and find a server that will use it?

What about serverside javascript on an ASP platdorm, "free" if it is
includes in your host package.

i guess it does not really matter how i do it most of the webpage i think
that i can do on my side with the javascript and html the only thing i cant
figure out how to do is to save the xml so how is this done? despite what
media i end up using i still do not know how to do it .

Put the resulting xml-string in a hidden form field on your page, and post
it
to the server. On the server side you must have a cgi-script that receives
the
xml, and save it. As others have said before; What kind of cgi you use on
the
server side doesn't matter. Python is free, Php is free, Tomcat w/Java is
free...

Well that depends on where you are...

* What (programming)la nguages do you know?
* What OS are your server running on?
* What kind of web-server are you running?
* Do you have full access to the server, or
is it hosted by someone else?

The snippet under is taken from one of my .ASP
pages written in VbScript:

...
Dim xmlData
xmlData = Request.Form("x mlData")

Dim oDom
oDom = Server.CreateOb ject("MSXML2.DO MDocument")
if not oDom.loadXML( xmlData ) Then
errorString = oDom.parseError .reason
Else
oDom.save("data/incoming/orders/temp.xml")
end if
...
