I have a script that calls an eml page via cfhttp and would like to simply display the results. This xml structure does work

<macromedia_resources xmlns:macromedia_resources="http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/resources/macromedia_resources.dtd">

This one does not with the same script.

.

.

<bill type="s" number="2" title="S. 2: Middle Class Opportunity Act of 2009" official-title="A bill to improve the lives of middle class families and provide them with greater opportunity to achieve the American dream." last-action="2009-01-07" status="calendar" />

<bill type="s" number="3" title="S. 3: Homeowner Protection and Wall Street Accountability Act of 2009" official-title="A bill to protect homeowners and consumers by reducing foreclosures, ensuring the availability of credit for homeowners, businesses, and consumers, and reforming the financial regulatory system, and for other purposes." last-action="2009-01-07" status="calendar" />

.

.

is the attributes causing an issue?

.

.

The script looks like this:

<cfhttp url="examplewebpage">
<cfset myxmldoc = XmlParse(cfhttp.fileContent)>
</head>

<body>
<cfoutput><font color="FFFFFF">#myxmldoc#</font></cfoutput>

Probably because there is no root element, like this:

<rootElement>

<bill />

<bill />
</rootElement>

Chrispilie,

The following code works for me:

<div>

<cfxml variable="billsXml"><bills session="111">
<bill type="s" number="1" title="S. 1: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" official-title="A bill to create jobs, restore economic growth, and strengthen America's middle class through measures that modernize the nation's infrastructure, enhance America's energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need, and for other purposes." last-action="2009-01-07" status="calendar" />
<bill type="s" number="2" title="S. 2: Middle Class Opportunity Act of 2009" official-title="A bill to improve the lives of middle class families and provide them with greater opportunity to achieve the American dream." last-action="2009-01-07" status="calendar" />
</bills></cfxml>

Is billsXml an XML document? <strong><cfoutput>#isXml(billsXml)#</cfoutput></strong>

</div>

<div>

<cfhttp url="http://www.govtrack.us/data/us/111/bills.index.xml">

<cfxml variable="bills_xml"><cfoutput>#cfhttp.filecontent#</cfoutput></cfxml>

Is bills_xml (from govtrack.us) an XML document? <strong><cfoutput>#isXml(bills_xml)#</cfoutput></strong>
</div>

Participant ,

I have had problems in the past when using the "-" in file node/attribute names. Maybe replacing it with "_" will help.
