Hi all!

I was just curious as to whether there is an easy way to locate an element 
within my document by one of its attribute values.

e.g.

<XML_DOC>
        <MY_ELEMENT id='100'>Some text</MY_ELEMENT>
        <MY_ELEMENT id='200'>Some more text</MY_ELEMENT>
        <INDEX id='200'>
</XML_DOC>

In the above document I can read the id value of the index element, but 
what I would then like to be able to do is a simple query such as find my 
the "MY_ELEMENT" which has "200" for its ID.  At the moment I am having to 
obtain a full list of "MY_ELEMENT" nodes and cycle through each one 
checking it's id against the id I have from the <INDEX> element.  This is 
incredibly wasteful if I have to look up more than one item in the 
<MY_ELEMENT> list!

Thanks for the help

Neil
