Here's my scratch page, where I'm doing my testing:

http://www.howardowens.com/amazon.cfm

For the current query, look at the "author" field in the CFDUMP (top) of the
entire XML, and the CFDUMP (bottom) of my "book" structure.  You'll see in
the top dump, "author" is there, but in the parsed structure, it is not.


Here is the relevant portion of the script:


<cfscript>
AmazonXML = XmlParse(cfhttp.filecontent);
Book = StructNew();
                
        
        
// check for author and set value if exists 
if(structKeyExists(AmazonXML.ItemLookupResponse.Items.Item,"ItemAttributes.A
uthor")) {
                Book.Author =
AmazonXML.ItemLookupResponse.Items.Item.ItemAttributes.Author.XmlText;
        }

else {
                Book.Author = '';
        }       


</cfscript>

Thanks.

H.

Can you provide a small but complete example of a true and false condition
of the xml you are working with?
