Search XML Tree help

First off, I'm an XML newbie, but not a CF newbie :) I'm trying to figure out how to search an xml document that is being handed to me by another process within the company.  Basically it's a small database. Here's a sample: <employee id="jsmith"> <fname>John</fname> <lname>Smith</lname> </employee> <employee id="jjones"> <fname>Jack</fname> <lname>Jones</lname> </employee> How do I search the tree and get all of the childnodes for id="jjones"?  ID is an attribute of employee and I'm having trouble figuring this out with CF. Any help is much appreciate. thanks! Chris

Something like XMLSearch ( myXML, '/employee[@id='jjones']/*' ) Should do the trick.  I didn't test this and I'm not certain of the   "*", but that should get you in the neighborhood.
