Two possible ways:

* Use DOM, not a string tool.

* Learn at least as much about how to work with XML as native strings
as someone who writes DOMs.

(Guess what, the first of these is easier and more reliable)

Re: XML Parsing Error: Junk After Document Element

hi.

i am new to this and i am trying. As for DOM, I have tried the below:

I am using stringbuilder to build the database values into an
XML doc.
then, to create the DOM, I do the following:
Dim xml As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
xml.LoadXml(sbh tml.ToString)

Context.Respons e.ContentType = "text/xml"
Context.Respons e.Write(xml)

This returns nothing on the client. I keep getting "undefined" . I
appreciate your DOM suggestion, and am learning as i go, but maybe you
could help to provide a solution?

thanks again.

Re: XML Parsing Error: Junk After Document Element

ok, i figured this out.

for others, maybe this will help:

i am working in .NET

I created a search_data.asp x file for the AJAX call.
in the search_data.asp x file, i had the:

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHol derID="ContentP laceHolder1"
Runat="Server">

tags wrapping my script. hence, autogenerated HTML
was added after my XML stuff, causing the Junk after XML error.

take out the content tags and you should be good to go.

thanks all for your suggestions along the way.
