Hi all, I thought that you might be able to help me with an XML problem I'm having. Essentially I have an XML packet like the one below. <article_objects> <thumbnail id = "32:4" height = "44" name = "my pic">test.jpg</thumbnail> <thumbnail id = "32:5" height = "45" name = "my poc">tost.jpg</thumbnail> <headline id = "32:6">we are famous now</headline> </article_objects> I want to say 'delete the thumbnail with id 32:5'. So using the element name and id attribute I would like to remove that element from the XML packet. But I don't seem to be able to get it to work. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about how to approach this. Whether to use a removeChild / removeAll / removeNode / removeElement method or how to select the appropriate element. I am doing it all in ColdFusion - does this cause any limitations? I would appreciate any help you could give on the matter. many thanks Cedric Wooding [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.torchbox.com Tel: 01608 811870 Fax: 01608 811988 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
