XML isn't just a straigh-up struct... if you're going to reproduce an expected XML snippet into a well-formed XML document by hand, you need to recreate the whole thing or it just... won't work.
Check out this example... http://w2ksrv1.neo.servequake.com/tmp/xmlexample.cfm If you click the title of the cfdump, it will rotate between simle, extended, and collapsed views... check out the extend version of the view in the bottom-left table cell. xmlRoot.xmlElement.xmlName=find_business xmlRoot.xmlElement.xmlChildren contains a collection of structs that represent url objects. XML isn't just a struct, or an array... if you're talking XML and it needs to be validated, you're going to have to either be very VERY careful about how you create your structured object OR you should just write it out to a file, read it in via cffile, and xmlParse() it into a native XML binary object. Just remember, though... xmlSearch and xmlTransform both have rules, and those rules follow XML standards, and the format of the document IN MEMORY is critical or they just won't work.
