Defining variables from an XML file.....

[scooter41]

Hi There,

I am currently stating each and every variable I retrieve via an xml document, like the following:

_root.questionT = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.answerA= xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.answerB = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.answerC = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;

Is there anyway to automate this so it simply reads in the name of the surrounding text?

<frontText>Welcome to our website</frontText>

So it would know that this variable was frontText without me specifying it? Is that possible?

have a look at using XPath if you are trying to grab hold of particular nodes... heres an explanation:
