what is it that you're trying to do? loop through and get all titles? or just get the first title? what do you have so far?

I wrote a JS function a while back that I use to get XML data, but can't find it right now. It takes the tag as the argument (without the pointy brackets) along with the XML data and returns the character string inside. It wasn't difficult to write, was something like:

function getXMLcontents(tagname, xdata)
{
var opentag = '<' + tagname + '>';
var closetag = '</' + tagname + '>';
var contents = xdata.substr(xdata.indexOf(opentag) + opentag.length);
contents = contexts.substr(0, contents.indexOf(closetag));
return contents;
}

That's not tested, so it might need touched up.

Using the function would be something like:

xmldata = ''; //assign the XML data to a string
var value = getXMLcontents('imsmd:general', xmldata);
if (value.length > 0)
  {
  value = getXMLcontents('imsmd:title', value);
  }
if (value.length > 0)
  {
  value = getXMLcontents('imsmd:langstring', value);
  }

I am converting an asp function set to javascript

so for instance converting this

default = (xmlDocument.selectNodes("//organizations//")(0).getAttribute("default"))
	set items = xmlDocument.selectNodes("//organizations//organization[@identifier='"&default&"']//item//")
	for each item in items
		If response.IsClientConnected=true then
			if isObj(item.selectSingleNode("title"), "") <> "" then
				call getNav(orig,path,item.getAttribute("identifierref"),isObj(item.selectSingleNode("title"), ""))
			end if
		else
			response.End()
		end if
	next

}...the bane of my life!
