Let me re-ask my question... What's the best way to insert a child element under <page id="2">, when you don't know where it's at in the XML doc? All you know is that it has an attribute "id" and the value is "2".
Another thought (along the same lines), if you wanted to show the ancestors of a specific element, how would this be accomplished? An example would be displaying "breadcrumbs". Again, all you would know is the page id. Would this require a recursive udf/tag? And if so, how do you get the parent element of a given element. I can't find this anywhere in the docs (or web). Get the children of an element, easy... get the parent of an element, I have no clue...
