Hi Gary. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

The parentElement must've slipped by me when I was documenting the options. I'll get that documented on the usage page when I get the chance. Thanks for pointing that out.

Can you link me to your XML page so that I can take a look at the entire document? Thanks.

Kyle – Great plug-in! Thank you. One suggestion and a question. Suggestion, it took me a while to figure out the parentElement: 'item' default option in your script and that I could change that option on the page. I suggest adding that to your usage page as an available option. It's key to everything working correctly. And a question, is there a way to make XML in the following format list all papers and options correctly. I haven't been able to make it work using a combination of attr and parentElement options. Papers is the top-level parent node and the child nodes are each type of paper in my web-to-print application.

You can ignore my last post, i figured it out, and actually what was causing me some problems is around line 130 in the jparse script file, i was getting a console error, i just commented it out and i am all good now.

Do you have an example of using the attr option? i am trying to pull a value of a tag that contains my url to a podcast. i have set it as

attr: [{elem: 'enclosure', attr: 'url'}]

but i can't seem to get it to pull the value, actually i can't get it to pull any values. example of the XML

i don't see why not. jparse is built so that it can easily parse xml nodes with namespaces. so if you want to pull the username, the elementTag option for jParse would look like this: elementTag: ['ns3:userName'] see the jparse usage page for more.
