If you have to perform basically the same operation at each level of your XML, one way to deal with an open-ended number of levels is to use recursion.
I apologize for not saying more, but I am running out the door, and don't have time to write up any kind of sample code on this. However, I'm sure that if you google for things like recursion or recursive function, you should find lots of information on how this approach works. I'd also guess that Wikipedia has a good article on this.

But after sitting for 2 days building nestes for loops, i can't see the light by the end of the tunnel :-) So, here is a problem: I have to build an xml based navigation, so far, quite simple and clear. Made it already a few times, but, now, this is a bit more complicated, because i got a much deeper nested sub levels, and i really don't know how to efficient traverse the document and build the navigation out of it :| The most complex navigation i made had 2 levels, so it wasn't really hard to imagine the code for this task: 2 for loops done the nav creation and that's it, but i got now, an "undefined" deep, and i don't know how to bite the code that will build the nav, that goes a bit deeper then one-sub level. Do you guys got any examples or thoughts on how to solve the task? Im pretty sure that i got an logical error in my approach, since i will use some nested for loops, but i can't think the "formula" since i don't know how deep each of the nodes goes, and this task gives me headaches. any kind of help and pinpointing to right direction would be VERY appreciated cheers, Patrick ------------ --------- --------- --------- --- fancy skills to pay the bills www.jankun.org Phone: +43 660 96 969 - 01 web: jankun.org mail: p[at]jankun. org
