I am having trouble reading the following feed. http://www.whatsonincapetown.com/feed/
my code is as follows:
<%
TheFeed = "http://www.whatsonincapetown.com/feed/"
Set xmlDOM = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
xmlDOM.async = False
xmlDOM.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xmlDOM.Load("TheFeed")
Set itemList = XMLDom.SelectNodes("rss[1]/channel/item")
myCount = 0
response.write "Getting Cape Town News Feed."
For Each itemAttrib In itemList
myCount = myCount + 1
response.write (myCount)
newsSubject =itemAttrib.SelectSingleNode("title").text
newsExtract =itemAttrib.SelectSingleNode("description").text
newsDate =itemAttrib.SelectSingleNode("pubDate").text
%>
<tr>
<td><%=newsSubject%></td>
<td><%=newsDate%></td>
<td><%=newsExtract%></td>
</tr>
<%
Next
Set xmlDOM = Nothing
Set itemList = Nothing
%>
Anyone have any idea why it is not able to parse the feed, and is not giving any form of error.
Try and change
xmlDOM.Load("TheFeed")
to
xmlDOM.Load(TheFeed)
because TheFeed is a variable, not a string :-)
There's an asp script to read RSS feeds here. The comments are in Danish but that shouldn't be a problem if you understand VBS.

However IMO the best way to parse XML with Classic ASP is to use an XSL Stylesheet. Your ASP code would look like this.
set xml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.6.0")
xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", true
xml.async = false
xml.validateOnParse = false
xml.load("http://yourfeed")
set xsl = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.6.0")
xsl.load(Server.Mappath("yourstylesheet.xsl"))
Response.Write(xml.transformNode(xsl))
set xsl = nothing
set xml = nothing
You should be able to find a ready made rss reader xsl document online somewhere
