Hi ben
<br>Can u tell me how you use the XQL pattern <font size=-1>books/book[@bnum
= 13241] </font>to search ur xml files for elements , from a lay man point
of view.
<br>I know a little of XQL , XML and the syntax for forming notations .
<br>However i could never figure out how to implement them in IE5.
<br>Thanx a lot for ur time
<br>Bye

how do I determine the position of the found book in "books"? bnum
