ok, i have this project i need to do – i’ve got the xml working (i think), but i need to trap both id’s from the xml file as well as whether a certain node is labeled true or false. what the best way to set that up?

should i make an explicit array with all the event ids, but then how do i call it from my menu?

i’m fuzzy on it, and need to get it to work. i tried to build it all into one page, then i tried putting it onto separate classes, a main and a thumb and content area, but i can’t figure out the best way to make it all work together.

any ideas? i’ll post code if i need to.
