<snip> Understood. But I think the previous poster was suggesting that, as a workaround for this problem, you could, using something like a regular expression replace, change the second Xpath call into the first call, then use the XmlAttributes method on the returned XML object. >I suspect what is happening is that when you do a >cfdump, only the content of the node is displayed. >Technically, the content of an element node is all the >"text" between its enclosing tags (ignoring its >attributes), whereas the content of an attribute node >is nothing (but it has a value of "firstRule"). Or, in >XSL terms, you're expecting <xsl:value-of> behavior >while xmlsearch is exhibiting <xsl:copy-of> behavior. Are you suggesting that the value I'm after is somewhere in the returned object, but cfdump doesn't know how to handle it, or that XmlSearch isn't returning it at all. If it's the former, then I'd love to know how to access that information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
