Hi,

How about something like this (inline below):


for $person in doc('/people.xml')/people/person
return
  <div>
    $person/@name
    <a href="delete.xqy?path={ xdmp:path($person) }>delete</a>
  </div>

<a href="delete.xqy?name={ $person/@name }>delete</a>

then (below)



This will give me nice delete links like "delete.xqy?path=/people/ person[1]", but in the supposed delete.xqy, I'd want to do something similar to:

let $file := '/people.xml'
let $person := xdmp:get-request-field('path')
return
  xdmp:node-delete(doc($file)/$person)

let $person-name := xdmp:get-request-field('name')
return
  xdmp:node-delete(doc($file)/people/[EMAIL PROTECTED])

I realize you have simplified things (nicely) for your post, but I would use XQuery to build JavaScript here to put the information you need per person into a JSON object (I realize some requirement might preclude you from using JS). Then add a click event handler for each person link. Then, onclick, use the event handler to find the person's json object and construct an ajax POST or DELETE (which can be converted to XML on the client if needed) to send to the XQY.

best,
-Rob
