how to display xml?

[Peter Kirk]

Hi there

say I have a string which contains xml. How do I display this on my
webpage - as tags in an hierarchical structure?

Thanks,
Peter

You can display it any way you want. How do you want to dislay it?

Well I would like to see things like:

<item id="123">
<content>value</content>
<home name="solutions">
<address>
<street></street>
<post>0067</post>
</address>
</home>
</item>

etc.

But I was not getting the tags, only their contents (I think the browser was
confused by the tags - maybe it thought it was html or something?).

Anyway I found out to "html-encode" it, and make sure I padded the string
with <br> tags and spaces at the appropriate places to give an hierarchical
structure to the output.

Set the mime type to xml and open the document directly in the browser

Yes, either way (HtmlEncode or set MIME type) would work. Of course, if you
want it to be in an HTML document with other HTML, you would go with the
HtmlEncode method.
