Why do you continue to say that it doesn't work. It does work and it works exactly the way it was designed too.
You can see it in action by clicking on http://www.virgilslist.com You can see the original xml file as defined on that link I sent you earlier by clicking on http://www.virgilslist.com/ff1059.xml You can see the code we are discussing in action by clicking on http://www.virgilslist.com/get1059.asp But since you are so superior to me, I humbly will pardon you for cutting down what little programming skills that I have <grin> Virgil Bierschwale http://www.bierschwale.com http://www.bierschwalesolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Kalweit Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 9:50 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: VFP to XML > So a beginner asking for advice from experienced people is insulting ? > I'd bet your check against mine that a the majority of people on this list > would disagree with you. Ever hear of a silent majority? The lack of answers to your simple questions over the past 1-2 weeks has been telling enough to me, regardless of what a few people may pipe up and say. The idea of asking of other's time without seeking out the answer from free, easily available resources first, is disrespectful of the "experienced people" and their valuable time. > Anyway, here is the page that I got the example from and yes, it does work. > http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_server.asp That doesn't create an XML file with attributes for Google Maps, as we're discussing. It also is open to problems, as the values are not properly encoded-- any kind of special character will make the resulting XML file un-parsable by standards-based XML parsers. > Sure I was in the process of making it work when I sent the original > example, but contrary to your belief's, it does work and it works good. Did you fix it since you posted your original code? The point I'm making is that the code you posted is wrong-- your attributes aren't attributes, as Eyvind pointed out as well. > Does this qualify me to be a programmer ? Probably so. Maybe a programmer, yes. Software Engineer, no. You can write code(maybe), that doesn't mean you can design software. > Is my heart in development ? Definitely not as I prefer to put together the > systems and let people like yourself that prefer to do development do the > development according to my spec's. According to your specs? From what I've seen I don't think I could respect your specs. Maybe some functional requirements(primarily a marketing task), but not specs. > One of these days my good man, you're going to reach a life changing > experience, it could be outsourcing, it could be a family illness such as > cancer or any number of things and you will wake up and realize, hey I don't > know everything. I don't know everything-- I realized that years ago. But at the same time, I also know I don't know nothing. I know what I know, and I know much of what I don't. This subject is something I **do** know, and to speak with authority on it is not being a "know it all" as you imply. > Hopefully I'm wrong, but life has taught me the hard way, and it didn't > spare the rod, that I'm right. Virgil, I respect the hand your life has dealt. I'm sorry for the misfortune you've experienced. Hopefully things will go better for you. Hopefully you can turn the corner and help bring yourself out of your current rut-- my suggestions are meant as constructive criticism and not to tear you down. I'm sorry you see them that way, or that I come off that way sometimes, but that's not my intent. I wish you well. -- Derek [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
