So, "//" should probably be used once to get at the root node? What other
methods are faster than using the "//" xpath statement?
In my code I used the following effectively:
<cfscript>
nodeOffer_Id = service.selectSingleNode("Offer_Id");
Offer_Code = service.selectSingleNode("Offer_Id/@Offer_Code");
Offer_Code = Offer_Code.text;
</cfscript>
Your code also worked the same. Thanks!
Carl
