accessing xml nodes in asp

I'm trying to use the new youtube api, but I'm struggling in classic asp and can't see any tutorials online. I'm able to use XMLHTTP to get the xml into an objXML and have managed to confirm it is there OK.

Now all I need to get me started is how to access each 'entry' in the xml list. In my old code it worked like this:


totProds = objXML.getElementsByTagName("feed").length

and I would then find

for i=0 to totProds-1
a=objXML.getElementsByTagName("entry").item(i)
next

to find my way through the list. But totProds just returns 0 length.

I'll post a bit of the xml below, any help much appreciated.
