I'm taking a guess (based on the books I have) that you only get the
elements. I didn't dig deep into xPath docs, however. I used the CFMX
WACK (advanced volume) as a reference. I only see that you can search
for elements or for attributes WITH certain attribute values. I don't
see an operator to just pull only attributes without specifying a value.
Just remember, I'm sort of xPath-ignorant.
Here is an example of what I did to get those values...
<cfxml variable="myXML">
<parent>
<child name="jo">
<weight value="100lbs"/>
</child>
<child name="mike">
<weight value="180lbs"/>
</child>
</parent>
</cfxml>
<cfset xPath = "//parent/child/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'100lbs']">
<cfset xSearch = XMLSearch(myXML, xPath)>
<p><cfdump var="#xSearch#" label="xSearch for specific attribute
value"></p>
<cfset xPath = "//parent/child/weight">
<cfset xSearch = XMLSearch(myXML, xPath)>
<p><cfdump var="#xSearch#" label="xSearch for all weight elements"></p>
<p>Loop over returned elements<br>
<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(xSearch)#" index="ii">
<cfoutput>#xSearch[ii].xmlAttributes.value#</cfoutput><br>
</cfloop>
</p>

Subject: [CFCDev] OT: XPath() and getting attributes
Would an XPathQueryString look like to find the attributes of an XML
tag?
Basically, is it possible to return the value attribute of the weight
tag, or does xmlSearch() only return the text elements?
<parent>
<child name="jo">
<weight value="100lbs"/>
</child>
</parent>
Thanks,
Justin
