ok here is my code which works fine, might be a little raw but well i would appreciate all help possible :), ok the problem im having is that, each news in my xml has a month attribute, and i would like to show only the ones that has the same attribute lets say the user clicks on a button from a dropdown for example “june” and i would like to show only the ones with “june” month attribute, and it does, but it leaves me some spaces like the ones that are not “june” for this example still shows but as a blank new space, dunno if im clear :(, i think is the “for…” part the does the trick but i have tried so many times that i dont know what to do i cant get how to…
so if you where so kind to help me out i would greatly appreciate it 
thanks in advance
