x.attributes()[i].name()) will give you the name of the ith
attribute.
Another syntax for this is [EMAIL PROTECTED]()

getting xml attribute names
Thanks Chas, but I am trying to get the names of the
attributes. I am getting dynamic data out of a database in XML form and I
need to know the attribute names from the XML. I just want the attribute
names at the parent level. In the sample I have written I would get
id and task.
Thanks for your help, I will definitely look at the resource you
mentioned.

Suppose x:XML is the XML you show above. The myChild tags are
already accessible as if they were an array; for example, you can
say
trace(x.myChild[0].toXMLString());
which will output
mychild id=1.1 task=do this tools=hammer/
Also, to access an attribute, you can use any of the following:
trace(x.myChild[0].attribute(id));
trace(x.myChild[[EMAIL PROTECTED]id]);
trace(x.myChild[[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
all of which will output the string 1.1.
To use the XML as an array (sort of), you can use code such as:
for (i=0; ix.myChild.length(); i++) {
trace(i+ id +x.myChild[[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}
x.myChild.length() returns the number of elements which are tags of
the type myChild (note the parens; it's .length(), not
.length).
All this and more (e.g., the ability to only refer to myChild tags
which have the attribute tool==hammer) can be found in the
help docs
