Figured this one out while i was trying the code..

XPath method works fine without having to loop through all the elements.
I think it would be OK, to work with an Array of Sub-Sets of Larger XML Doc.
Another xml XPath "?"
How do i just return "<Book type="Reference Book" publication="" />" via
xmlSearch()
<Books>
<Book type="Reference Book" publication="" />
<Author firstName="" lastName="" />
</Book>
xmlSearch(odoc, "Books/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Reference Book']") returns all the items
under Book[1].
Thanks,
