Paul,Here is what I was trying to do. I tested it in the exit event of my dropdown list and it worked perfect. It returned the subordinate node placement in the xml.-------------Begin Code --------------//Parse my xml from the text field.var myXML = XMLData.parse(topmostSubform.Page1.subformStatChngForm.subformEmployeeData.subformEmplChanges.txtXMLString.rawValue, false);//Since I already stored the node length in another field on the initialize event of my subform I was able to use that for the...

Yes.

This is where I am having my problem. Creating a loop to search through the all of the nodes.John

I tried it and it didn't work. I was giving random numbers that didn't correspond to its place in the xml structure.Thanks,John

Paul,Actually there is. I will try that and let you know.Thank you for your help!John

I can access the nodes but what I need to do is when a user makes a selection in the dropdown list and selects an employee's name, I need to get the rest of the data from the node associated with that employee. If I could get the number of the node that is selected when the user selects the employee then I can work it out from there, but I can't seem to.Thanks,John

The XML structure is the same as what I posted above.Here is my code that I use to extract out the full_name and employee_id:--------- Begin Code -------------//Parse out XML from text field.var myXML = XMLData.parse(xfa.resolveNode("topmostSubform.Page1.subformStatChngForm.subformEmployeeData.subformEmplChanges.txtXMLString").rawValue, false);//Get the node count of subordinates for the For loop.var nodeCount = myXML.Subordinates.nodes.length;//Message box is just for debuggingxfa.host.messageB...

Paul,This worked perfect. Thank you.I have one more question.I have assigned the full_name and employee_id to the dropdown list and am able to extract the employee id for use in another field whenever a selection is made in the dropdown.My problem is that I don't know how to access the rest of the data in the node for that person that is selected.Any thoughts on how to get the number of the node that is selected in the dropdown?Thanks,John

I must be missing something somewhere becuause I couldn't get it to work. Here is the xml that I am getting back when I invoke the CFC from within Workbench. This data is assigned to an XML type varialbe called 'xmlOutput'. I then create a data connection in my form to the service I created in Workbench and bind the return data to a text field (with multiple lines). When I bind the data I have the option to choose "document" or "element". Element doesn't return anything, unless I am doing someth...
