Hello,

How can I code this so I can just use an array to have the function load info from an xml page, instead of having to tediously re-write each line and increment the number?  
These are just 6 lines of data and I need to add 40 more.

Thanks in advance.

function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.menu1.linkname = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.link = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.[[color=#0000ff]Link2[/color]](javascript:golink(2))name = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.[[color=#0000ff]Link2[/color]](javascript:golink(2)) = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.[[color=#0000ff]Link3[/color]](javascript:golink(3))name = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.[[color=#0000ff]Link3[/color]](javascript:golink(3)) = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.[[color=#0000ff]Link4[/color]](javascript:golink(4))name = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[6].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.menu1.[[color=#0000ff]Link4[/color]](javascript:golink(4)) = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[7].firstChild.nodeValue;
