Here are 3 ways you could form the XML (also potential xpath syntax - don't quote me on the attribute lookup w/ @ symbol - it's been a while and you may just write [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of adding the slash element/@attribute? - it should get you close):
<person order="1"> <name>Aname</name> </person> To get order: /person/@order To get name: /person/name ... <person> <name>Aname</name> <order>1</order> </person> To get order: /person/order To get name: /person/name ... <person> <name order="1">Aname</name> </person> To get order: /person/name/@order To get name: /person/name ------ I think it's purely preference on how you design your XML as long as it's well-formed. You'll have to read between the lines when people give you examples as there will be typos but you can understand what they meant... If my syntax above is incorrect, at least you can see what I was trying to do and make the syntax correct... :) Hope this helps!
