Thanks for the quick response.
I know its possible to loop over the XMLList, but I am not sure how to
do it. I have used the XMLListCollection, but then when I try to use
the XMLListCollection as a data provider I have use the "@" symbol as
you suggested below.
Using the "@" cause more problems because when try to make my app
dynamic I have to try things like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and it gets
messy when I have to try to capitalize things like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]({somevar}).
So if you could help with how to loop through the XMLList it would
make my code much cleaner.
Thanks, J
