XMLCatalog Object - XML Product Catalog

Using nothing more than simple xml xpath search patterns and a little bit of ASP to wire everything together, we can make a simple product catalog out of an xml database representing the product catalog of a company that sells movies.

I wanted to have a list view and a detailed view of each movie so I encapsulated everything into an asp class having 2 methods: CreateCatalog and CreateCatalogItem. The first makes a searchable list and the second creates the detailed view for each product. The entire class was built around this xml file and will be most useful as an example to get you started in developing your own ASP apps that use XML.
