Go4Expert - Problem while parsing Simple XML files

I have an XML file "r1.xml"

Code:

<root>

    <val>Value1</val>

    <val1>value2</val1>

</root>

I have an ASP script file as below

Code:

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
