Podcast rss feed reading itunes image in classic asp - asp-classic

Question

I'm working on a rss feed reader and seems so work great.
The only thing that I seem not to get working is to read the image in the feed.
<itunes:image href="http://www.itunes.com/image.jpg"/>
Can anyone help?
This is a part of my code.
For Each objItem in objItems
On Error Resume Next
TheTitle = objItem.selectSingleNode("title").Text
TheLink = objItem.selectSingleNode("image").Text
Theimg = objItem.SelectSingleNode("itunes").Attributes(":image").InnerText
Response.Write "<div class='article'>" &_
"<a href=" & TheLink & ">" & _
"<span>" & Theimg & TheTitle & "</span>" & _
"</a>" & _
"</div>"
Next

Answer 1

Your image address needs to go inside an image tag
Response.Write "<div class=""article"">" &_
"<a href=""" & TheLink & """>" & _
"<img src=""" & Theimg & """ alt=""" & TheTitle & """ />" & _
"</a>" & _
"</div>"

As an aside, if you understand XSL then I find that the best way to handle RSS feeds in Classic ASP is to do a server side XSLT transformation. The ASP looks like this
set xml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.6.0")
xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", true
xml.async = false
xml.validateOnParse = false
xml.load("http://your-rss-feed")
set xsl = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.6.0")
xsl.load(Server.Mappath("yourxslfile.xsl"))
Response.Write(xml.transformNode(xsl))
set xsl = nothing
set xml = nothing
