html display..

[iLy54]

how would i display an element that has an attribute, in html.
like how would i display:
<letter no=&quot;1&quot;>rsvp</letter>

would i still be using the span tag with DATASRC='#xmldso' & DATAFLD=&quot;content&quot;. how would i use it if the element had an attribute.

use something like:

content/@no

Is this what you were after? If not could you clarify? Nick (Software Developer)

ok my xml document looks sumthing like this:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; ?>
<All_Letters>
<letter>the content of the letter
more content of the letter
still more content
</letter>
<letter>the content of the letter
more content of the letter
still more content
</letter>
<All_Letters>

Now in my html doc i display it like so:

<p><SPAN DATASRC='#xmldso' DATAFLD=&quot;letter&quot;></SPAN></p>

What i wana do is add an attribute to each letter element that distinguishes it from the others.
So if i added the attribute no=&quot;1&quot; to the elements, i might only wana display the letter that is no=&quot;5&quot;. i hope i clarified myself.
can this be done the way i want it to?
any help would be appreciated,
thanx
