Aha, xml.parentNode should do the trick.

    do you have an example of the XML you need to parse?  That would
    help with your example.


    thanks.

    Thanks Jake.

    Cool, that clears things up a bit. My problem is that I need to
    find all the items of a certain type in a document, but I also
    need to understand their context, because I need to build a tree
    structure. Is there any way to get the context of the returned
    item? Like an xml equivalent of movieclip.parent ?

    Or maybe I should just make my own recursive function and do
    that. Gah. I hate recursion...

    Cheers,
    Alias

        Hi Alias,


It is a deep, recursive search.
        Example:

        document..item

        That will find all <item> nestings in the XML document.

        You can limit the search by recursing farther down.

        *document.orders..item
        *will find all *items* that are nested inside of an *order *tag.


        hope that helps.


        Thanks,

        Hi guys,

        Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm finding it hard to get a
        straight answer on this.

        The ".." operator in E4X, yeah?

        What's going on there? Is it a deep recursive search, a single level


        search, or what? Does it go through the whole document, or is it only
        for the descendants of the current context? The documentation is so
        vague and the W3C spec isn't much help either..

        thanks in advance,


        Alias
