RE: XmlSearch() returning Attribute Values
How about a = XMLSearch(xmlDoc, '/document/node); attrValue = a.xmlAttributes.attributeVal; I don't really think the fact that XMLSearch will only return element arrays is a big limitation.

If you really care, you can use the XPath classes from Xalan. But I am not sure it's worth the efforts...

Re: XmlSearch() returning Attribute Values
The xmlSearch() returns an array of XML object nodes using regular XPath _expression_ like e.g.. myBook = xmlSearch(xmlBooks, "Books/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'ColdFusion']"); Then you can plough through the array returned to do whatever Joe Eugene - Original Message - From: Alexander Sherwood To: CF-Talk Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 2:33 PM Subject: XmlSearch() returning Attribute Values It seems as if XML Search only returns element nodes, and that's it.

XmlSearch() returning Attribute Values
It seems as if XML Search only returns element nodes, and that's it. Poor, poor, poor planning, IMHO. Has anyone created a work around, for example, for doing the following: --- XMLSearch(xmlDoc, '/document/node/@attributeVal') --- to return the string value of the attribute "attributeVal" for element "node"? -- Alex Sherwood PHS Collection Agency THE COLLECTORS T: 301.215.4200 F: 301.664.6834 W: www.phs-net.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
