If you use a labelFunction for the team name column, you can access the entire xml hierarchy. You can get the parent of a node using the node.parent() method.

Now my customer wants the team name included in each players data which is in the parent ['team-content'].team.name so I am assuming I have to do one of two things 1) rename the tempXML['team-sport-content']['league-content']['season-content']['team- content']['player-content'].player to tempXML['team-sport-content']['league-content']['season-content']['team- content'] and figure out a way to put each player in a new row or figure out a way to get the data from ..parent.team.name which I dont think is possible. www.billebert.com
