Pulling a single value from an XML document...

[BLynch85]

I have no real experience working with XML, but I was just curious if there was some type of HTML command that could pull out a single number/word from an entire XML document. I realize what I'm saying might not be very clear, so I'll try to explain a bit more.

http://www.anarchy-online.com/org/stats/d/1/name/3510273/basicstats.xml

The above link is is an XML document that is constantly updated (not by me) and I would like to know if there is some HTML command I could use to display the "level" number in the document. I was thinking something like this:

<SRC=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.anarchy-online.com/org/stats/d/1/name/3510273/basicstats.xml&quot;[/URL] DIRECTORY=&quot;organization&quot; DIRECTORY=&quot;members&quot; DIRECTORY=&quot;member&quot;=Tocksick &quot;level&quot;>

That type of command would pull out a number from the given directories, it would be very nice for something like this to exist, so it probably doesn't. Anyways, please help if you have the time, thanks!

if you have no way of server side scripting, i would use the msxml parser client side (although only support for ie), to use an xpath expression like

"/organization/members/member/level"

to return a group of all levels for all members

or

"/organization/members/member/level[../nickname='" + nick + "']" to return those with the nickname specified mike griffith
