Step 4: Receive and Display the Data

In this step you will create an HTML file with an embedded RDS.DataControl object that points at the XMLResponse.asp file to get the Recordset. Open default.htm with a text editor, such as Windows Notepad, and add the code below. Replace "sqlserver" in the URL with the name of your server computer.

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>ADO Recordset Persistence Sample</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>

<TABLE DATASRC="#RDC1" border="1">
  <TR>
<TD><SPAN DATAFLD="title"></SPAN></TD>
<TD><SPAN DATAFLD="price"></SPAN></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>


<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:BD96C556-65A3-11D0-983A-00C04FC29E33" ID="RDC1">
   <PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="XMLResponse.asp">
</OBJECT>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Close the default.htm file and save it to the same folder where you saved XMLResponse.asp. Using Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, open the URL https://sqlserver/XMLPersist/default.htm and observe the results. The data is displayed in a bound DHTML table. Now open the URL https://sqlserver/XMLPersist/XMLResponse.asp and observe the results. The XML is displayed.
