Hello Ben. The xmls attr on your root node defines a default namespace. I blogged about it here: http://aaronjwhite.org/index.php/component/content/article/2-cfml/10-coldfusion-xmlsearch-and-epub-open-container-format
So you have two options. All you have to do is add a colon (: ) in front of your nodes like so: "/:StudentPersonal/:Name" OR You can use very sexy new html() function for jQuery like searches (OpenCfSummit ftw). Reference: http://www.openbd.org/manual/?/function/html Download the nightly and then try the code below: //** CODE **// <html><body><h1>XML Searching</h1> <cfset xmlStr = '<StudentPersonal xmlns="http://www.sifinfo.org/infrastructure/2.x"; RefId="140808190A00040F5007AA16589D65EB"> <LocalId>20602</LocalId> <Name Type="04"> <LastName>Serrano</LastName> <FirstName>Nadine</FirstName> <MiddleName>H</MiddleName> <FullName>Serrano, Nadine H</FullName> </Name> </StudentPersonal>' /> <cfset xmlObj = xmlParse(xmlStr) /> <cfset xmlResult = xmlSearch(xmlobj, "/:StudentPersonal") /> <cfset xmlNameType= xmlSearch(xmlobj, "/:StudentPersonal/:Name/@Type") /> <cfset htmlObj= html(xmlStr) /> <cfset htmlResult= htmlobj.select('StudentPersonal') /> <cfset htmlNameType= htmlobj.select('StudentPersonal Name').attr('Type') /> <h3>Html Result:</h3><cfdump var="#htmlResult.outerhtml()#" expand="false" label="Html Result" /><br /><br /> <h3>Html Name Type: </h3><cfdump var="#htmlNameType#" expand="false" label="Html Name Type" /><br /><br /> <cfdump var="#xmlresult#" expand="false" label="Xml Result" /><br/><br /> <cfdump var="#xmlNameType#" expand="true" label="Xml Name Type" /><br /><br /> </body></html> //** End Code **// On Wednesday, March 14, 2012 5:22:12 PM UTC-5, Ben wrote: > > I'm trying to do an XMLSearch on an XML object that has a name space. > Here is an example of the data: > > <StudentPersonal xmlns="http://www.sifinfo.org/infrastructure/2.x"; > RefId="140808190A00040F5007AA16589D65EB"> > <LocalId>20602</LocalId> > <Name Type="04"> > <LastName>Serrano</LastName> > <FirstName>Nadine</FirstName> > <MiddleName>H</MiddleName> > <FullName>Serrano, Nadine H</FullName> > </Name> > </StudentPersonal> > > > If I try to do something as simple as this I get nothing. > <cfset arrNodes = XmlSearch(temp,"StudentPersonal") /> > > But, if I remove the namespace piece (xmlns) form the root, then it > returns just fine.
