Here you go:
var employees:XML =
employees
employee name=joe mark
department id=id1/
address city=miami state=florida/
/employee
employee name=joe mark
address city=san francisco state=california/
/employee
employee name=mary dooley
department id=id1/
address city=los angeles state=california/
/employee
/employees;
trace (employees.employee.(child (department)[EMAIL PROTECTED] == id1));

I have an xml document of the form
employees
employee name=joe mark
department id=id1/
address city=miami state=florida/
/employee
employee name=joe mark
address city=san francisco state=california/
/employee
employee name=mary dooley
department id=id1/
address city=los angeles state=california/
/employee
/employees
Note here that the second employee record doesnt have department
element at all. This is just a sample and my original xml is a web
service response with some of the child elements missing for some
elements. I want to filter the parent element on the child elements
which may or may not be present using an e4x expression. The e4x
expression of the form:
employeesByDept:XMLList = employees.employee.([EMAIL PROTECTED]
== id1);
fails saying department element not found. If the department
element
is found for all the employees the above statement goes through.
Whats the work-around for this? I thought its fairly common to have
child elements/attributes missing within elements and e4x should
just
ignore those.
Thanks in advance for the response.
