I don't know if this will help, but I added a new "child" element with
no "value" attribute. I modded my xPath to allow for this by only
returning "child" elements that contain the "value" attribute.
The first dump shows only elements that contain a "value" attribute.
The second dumpe shows all element that may or may not contain a "value"
attribute.
I checked www.w3schools.com for more information, but I can't find
exactly what you are asking.
Thanks

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
