 end function
</script>

when i try it appears this message:
* the Activex  componet can´t create the object "Wscript.shell" *

if any one knows the answer PLEASE help me.

Hi,

You need to let us know what host you are running
this under.

If you try and run it under WSH, then you are missing
some XML tags.

<job id="my job blah blah">
</job>

If you are running under IE, then you probably should run
it server side. Client side might be a problem.

HTH,
        Mark

In an IE client, you'll get this if WSH isn't installed on the client or the
browser security setting for "...ActiveX Controls not marked safe.." is set to
Disable (as opposed to Enable or Prompt)...

Or possibly (as I had a similiar problem) the WScript.Shell object has not
been registered in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

To see if this is the case use regedit to see if there is a "WScript.Shell"
subkey immeadiately off HKCR. If not you will need to use regsvr32.exe to
export the appropriate dll or ocx. (In my case it was sccrun.dll but I am
not sure what it would be for this particular object - as you can tell I am
new to this stuff!!)
