Combobox and XML

I have a combobox that needs to be populated with friends from an XML file. Once I’ve selected a name from the dropdown list, I need several text fields to be populated with information contained in several nodes of the XML.

I was successful in accomplishing this with a very simple XML, but once my XML became more complex, I could no longer access specific nodes.

Here is my XML:


<myfriends>
    <friends>
        <friend name = "frank">
            <outdoorsports>
                <camping> No </camping>
                <fishing> Sometimes </fishing>
                <hiking> Often </hiking>
            </outdoorsports>
            <family>
                <married> Yes </married>
                <kids> 3 </kids>
            </family>
            <games>
                <xbox360> yes </xbox360>
                <ps3> no </ps3>
                <wii> yes </wii>
                <pc> no </pc>
            </games>
        </friend>
        <friend name = "doug">
            <outdoorsports>
                <camping> yes</camping>
                <fishing> no </fishing>
                <hiking> yes </hiking>
            </outdoorsports>
            <family>
                <married> no </married>
                <kids> 1 </kids>
            </family>
            <games>
                <xbox360> no </xbox360>
                <ps3> no </ps3>
                <wii> yes </wii>
                <pc> yes </pc>
            </games>
        </friend>
    </friends>
</myfriends>

I have text fields labeled : Goes Camping, Likes to Hunt, Hikers, Married, Plays xbox360, etc… When I select “Frank” from the drop down I need all these individual text fields to populate with his info. I can post the code that i found on the web for the simplified XML file that works if necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
