That specific XML node...

Hi
I have an ID document (CS3 - MAC - JavaScript) with a complex XML structure (about 700 nodes...).
I need to get the attributes of a specific node without making FOR statements because it takes a long time.
Basically every node in the XML structure has 5 attributes.
One of those is the ID.
Is it possible to get the node knowing the ID value?
Thanks anticipately.

Take a look at the XML.xpath() method. That's it's purpose. The version in
Adobe's interpreters will choke on more complicated expressions, but looking for
nodes with a particular attributes should be something it can handle.
