Child Node Names and ASP

How I can identify which link node I wish to use?

I'm using ASP to loop through each child in a RSS feed to display the title, URL and description:
=======================================
for each child in RSSItem.childNodes
if lcase(child.nodeName)="title" then response.write child.text
if lcase(child.nodeName)="link" then response.write child.text
if lcase(child.nodeName)="content" then response.write child.text
next
=======================================

However, each item in the RSS feed contains two URLs, e.g.

The ASP code is not returning any child text for the <link> node.

Can anyone shed any light how I can identify which link I wish to use, and display it accordingly?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Try

if lcase(child.nodeName)="link" then response.write child.rel

not familar with ASP but assume "text" is what is between start and end tags

No luck, I'm afraid, this returns an error - object not supported.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Dave, you are a genius, and I appreciate the time you have taken to resolve it for me.

Your last snippet of code was sooo close, and it just needed a little tweaking to get the results I needed.

Here was the final code:

for each at in child.attributes
if at.name="href" then response.write at.text &"<br>"
next

Thank you so much.
