Then I need to get the index of its parent <color>. How the heck do I go about this? I found that I can search for the cname value using this XMLSearch(colorXML, "/root/colors/color/cname[. ='Black Mist']") Now how do I get the parent position so that I can display all the nodes in <color> ? -- Phil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
