XML Question

I'm currently using Mivascript to parse an xml-file into a html document. My problem is that because of the size of the xml-file (150 records), it takes nearly two minutes for the file to be parsed. Does anyone know of a way to speed this up, or have knowledge of some other scripting languages that may do this faster?

Any help would be appreciated!

aarvig,

If you have access to ASP, then you can create the XML object on the server (parse it) and give the user an .asp page as results. This is a very fast procedure.

Or if you can keep the document as .xml just use an XSL stylesheet to parse the data which is also pretty fast.

Do you know where I can find a tutorial for ASP parsing on the web? I have access to ASP, but don't know how to use it.
