Sorry Ken for the delay, but for some reason, the msdn website was not
letting me post yesterday and I kept getting an error from the newsgroup
website. This is is Page_Load...

string filepath = Server.MapPath("../AboutUs/index.aspx");
//XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
//xmldoc.LoadXml(filepath);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filepath);
string fileContents = sr.ReadToEnd();

You see that I have the xml lines commented out. I'm reading the actual
file into a string variable named fileContents. I just want to truncate the
string to a subset which includes the contents of <div id="content">. Or,
alternately, I could use ideas for transforming this string into well-formed
xml which I could load into an xml document using the commented out lines
above. Presently, if I uncomment those lines, I get an error that is is not
well-formed xml. Either approach would be fine.
