XML Formatting - Easy Question

I'm new to XML and I'm trying to create a script that reads an ASP file that outputs as XML. The data inside uses the following format:

Code:

 
<ChatLog>
<line>
<time>11-26-05 5:34 PM</time>
<name>Bob</name>
<message>Hello Susan.</message>
</line>
<line>
<time>11-26-05 5:36 PM</time>
<name>Susan</name>
<message>Why, hello there.</message>
</line>
</ChatLog>

I know the format for the XML file is correct, I'm now trying to figure out how to have the file displayed in the following format:

Code:

<b>[ 'DATE' ] 'NAME':</b> 'MESSAGE'<br>

I need the script to update the XML data about 2 times per second using a similar code such as the following:

Code:

<script>
function refresh(){
setTimeout("refresh()", 500);
createXML();
}
</script>

I feel like I'm so close to the answer, I've tried using an XSL file and got it to format it correctly, but the javascript doesn't execute & refresh like it's supposed to. Is there anyone that could help me with this? I would *greatly* appreciate any/all help you could give. ^_^

 

what about using an XSL transformation you apply at the server.

Are you using ASP Classic or ASP.NET 1.0 or 2.0?

 

I'm using ASP classic. It's working somewhat better, I think. However, it prints the lines 23 times, not sure why. Here are the links to the files, tell me what you think could be going wrong.

http://www.pcstudyguide.com/testxml.asp <--view the formatted xml file
http://www.pcstudyguide.com/testxml.asp?x=2 <--view the unformatted XML file
http://www.pcstudyguide.com/testxsl.xsl <--view the XSL file
http://www.pcstudyguide.com/testxml.asp?x=3 <--add a line of chat code to the XML file
http://www.pcstudyguide.com/testxml.asp?x=1 <--clears the chatlog, in case it gets too long just run this script

If you need to know any of the source for the files, just let me know. Thanks a lot for the help.

 

*BUMP*
Please help, someone has to know the answer to this...
