Problem while parsing simple XML file

[rag84dec]

I have an XML file "r1.xml"

<root>
<val>Value1</val>
<val1>value2</val1>
</root>



I have an ASP script file as below

dim rootName12

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
Set objLst = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objXML.async = False
objXML.Load (Server.MapPath("r1.xml"))
If objXML.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
'handle the error
End If

Set rootName12 = objXML.documentElement

Set nm= rootName12.childNodes.item(0).tagName ' I am 'getting error here



But i am getting an error like this

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: 'rootName12'



Can anyone help???

thanks
