javascript - xpath - xml

[sezme]

I have an xml document that i have loaded into ie

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0"
xmlDoc.async = false;xmlDoc.resolveExternals = false;xmlDoc.validateOnParse = false;
xmlDoc.load("area.xml"

I then run a xpath query on it
att = Area
value = 20
var nH=xmlDoc.selectNodes("/xml/rs:data/z:row[@"+ att +"='"+ value +"']&quot

this is working fine

now what i want to do is create a select menu from the data queried from the xml file

this is where i am struggling
i know that nH.length value is correct it returns 9 in this example

//alert(nH.length)

for(var i=0;i<nH.length;i++){

nH = nH.nextNode;
alert(nH.attributes.getNamedItem(&quot;City&quot.value)

}

but this will not iterate - the alert box will only show once.

can anyone explain this to me ?

thanks in advance

Shouldn't that be

nextNode()

?

On further investigation it would seem not. Forget it.

I found a crazy thing when I was working with XML in IE6 maybe it will help you.

Any time I changed anything I had to close the browser and open a new one. Otherwise it would get stuck with old information no matter how many times I refreshed, or cleared the cache.

I was using VBSCRIPT to create XML so that may be a different problem, but it's worth a try.
