It can be seen that every machine running different versions of Windows operating systems (and many other operating systems) almost all IEs. Microsoft has included the functionality of IE through ActiveX controls in performing mature XML processing technology.

In this article, we will tell how to use the ActiveX feature in IE to access and parse the XML document, thereby allowing the network surfers to manipulate them.

Online Surfing We start with a standard order document, as shown in Table A. This document contains simple sequential data to provide network surfers' browsing. Not only in order to display this data, we also provide a simple user interface, but also online surfes can use this interface to browse XML documents.

We use a web form to access this XML document, which will display SKU, price, quantity, part of each of the small counts, and the description of each option in the order. Our form also contains buttons that are forward and backward browsing options. The important part of the web page constitutes a web page is that we will use a table to be displayed on the screen in a manner. Below is a code snippet showing an HTML table:

The script actually, the substantive part of our webpage is not the form, but is the script of the control form. In our script, four parts are included. First, we initialize the web page by loading an XML document. The second part is navigating to the next record. The third step is to navigate to the previous record. The fourth part is to extract a single value from the XML document. Table B shows all of our web pages. Table B: jsxml.html
