trying to display an xml attribute

[j0se]

Hi chaps and chapesses,

I'm trying to display an XML attribute, but I'm having no luck - can anyone help me navigate the object properly?

this is the simple xml file (which i found it in one of Senocular's examples):

'<'LETTER'>'
'<'TO'>'Sandy'</'TO'>'
'<'FROM'>'Joseph'<'/FROM'>'
'<'BODY'>'I love you!'<'/BODY'>'
'<'/LETTER'>'


this is my as:




// create XML object
var xmlDoc = new XML();

xmlDoc.onLoad = parseXML;

// load the xml doc
xmlDoc.load("test.xml");

function parseXML( success )
{
if( success )
{
// outputs all the tags
trace( this.firstChild );

// outputs the tag: LETTER
trace( this.firstChild.nodeName);

// outputs the tag: TO
trace( this.firstChild.firstChild.nodeName );

// outputs the tag: TO & its value
trace( this.firstChild.firstChild );

}else{

trace("error");
}
}




that's as far as I've got

I'm tryig to figure out how to output the rest of the tags - (FROM & BODY)

are they stored in an object following the firstChild.firstChild?

cheers

<*LETTER>
<*TO>Sandy<*/TO>
<*FROM>Joseph<*/FROM>
<*BODY>I love you!<*/BODY>
<*/LETTER>

forgot the end tags for the TO and FROM ;)

take out the "*"s too. :)

cheers froZenX,

but the html is fine (the tags are a little messed up in my post because I was trying to isolate them using '', as i didn't know you could use *)

anyway, assume the xml file is fine

what I'm trying to get right is the as

cheers
:)
