Werner, thanks for your input again.
I've decided to go back to using the old style XML object (now
called XMLDocument).
the XMLDocument.attributes() method returns an 'associative array' a
bit like a hashtable. So in my case
<Node1 a='b' c='d' e='f'/> XMLDocument.attributes() gives
pos : value
a : b
c : d
e : f
whereas XML.attributes() gives
pos : value
0 : b
1 : d
2 : f
please correct me if i'm wrong anyone.
