XML Data Islands

[Byron]

I have a XML Data Island on my page. How can I extract the record I need
from the data island. For instance, if I have a data island populated with
order records and I need to retrieve only the record for a certain order
id (ex:OrderId = 214).

I'm sure this is probably basic, but I am pretty new to this.

Thanks

Create a DOMDocument object and use the selectSingleNode method with an XSLT
query. I haven't tested this exact code, but it should be very close.

For example, assuming your document looks like this:

<xml id="MyDataIsland">
<someelement>
<someotherelement>
<targetelement OrderID="214">
.....

You could use this code:
dim xmlDoc
Set xmlDoc = document.all("MyDataIsland")
dim aNode
set aNode = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("someelement/someotherelement[@OrderID =
'214']")
if aNode is Nothing then
' error handler here
end if
' do something with aNode.
