Sivakatirswami,
the colon thing is what is called a namespace. this way you can group
some tags as belonging to one namespace. This is done to avoid
collisions such when a XML has mixed info in it added by two
different specs and both use the same tag so <itunes:summary> is a
summary tag belonging to iTunes namespace and <andre:summary> would
be a summary tag added by me. They would not mix.
libXML2 supports this thing but this is not exposed in RevXML upper
layers. You have two options for parsing this: One is to use Ken Ray
XML Lib that treats them all like strings and can cope with name
spaces just fine. Or if you want to use RevXML then use a REGEX match
to find every ":" inside < > signs, convert them to dashes "-", goog,
your tag now looks like <itunes-summary> and you're able to use it
with RevXML.
Hope I helped.

<itunes:summary>Summary Text here.... </itunes:summary>
As an XML infant and RSS baby, I need help...
how does one parse nodes like
<itunes:summary>
<itunes:email>
etc. That: node{colon]parameter... is news to me.
Also stand alone tags return empty:
put revXMLNodeContents(tCurrTree,"/rss/channel/item/enclosure/") into
tURL
if /enclosure is:
<enclosure
url="http://www.himalayanacademy.com/audio/inspiredtalks/gurudeva/
taka/1998/gr-taka_1998-11-05.mp3"
length="5048830" type="audio/x-mp3" />
Rev doesn't see the [space /] as a valid end tag and simply does
not
parse the data....
