Hi there, i´m having problems with a nested loop. i found some post here, but they didn´t help me. i need to extract the individual values from a nested xml node. i simplyfied the xml.  
this is the code:

\<base\>  
[INDENT]\<jobs\>  
[INDENT]\<prints\>  
[COLOR=Red]\<print\>1.jpg\</print\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Red]\<print\>2.jpg\</print\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Red]\<print\>3.jpg\</print\>[/COLOR]  
\</prints\>  
[/INDENT]\</jobs\>  
[/INDENT][INDENT]\<jobs\>  
[/INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]\<prints\>  
[COLOR=Red]\<print\>1.jpg\</print\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Red]\<print\>2.jpg\</print\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=Red]\<print\>3.jpg\</print\>[/COLOR]  
\</prints\>  
[/INDENT] \</jobs\>  
[/INDENT]…etc

I need the prints node, but a i need to acess this one by one. by now i only got an entire array.

this is my as:  
xml\_prints.onLoad = function(ok) {  
if (ok) {  
var prints = xml\_prints.firstChild.childNodes;  
for (var p = 0; p\<prints.length; p++) {  
var print = prints[p];  
var jobs = print.firstChild.childNodes;  
for (var s = 0; s\<jobs.length; s++) {  
var job = jobs[s];  
}  
}  
}  
};

the var job contain all the elements, but a i didn´t figure how to take this one by one like job[0], job[2]

thanks for the help
