cfxml vs xmlnew() vs xmlnew(true)

Re: cfxml vs xmlnew() vs xmlnew(true) - (Solved)
I should be referencing the root node in xmlRoot: cfscript myXML = xmlNew(true); myXML.xmlRoot = xmlElemNew(myXML, breakfast_menu); myXML.xmlRoot[food] = xmlElemNew(myXML, food); myXML.xmlRoot[morefood] = xmlElemNew(myXML, morefood); myXML.xmlRoot[food][name] = xmlElemNew(myXML, name); /cfscript cfdump var=#myXML#/ Thanks! ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:308353 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
