Hi,

I am new here on kirupa forum and this is my first post:}  
Well, starting with a problem, i have a xml file and i want to compare data.  
I want to return the equal nodes within a new XMLList or Array;

\<checkNode name=“title” ids=“2,3,4” /\>

atrribute (ids) checking in;

\<nodes\>  
\<node id=“1” name=“title” /\>  
\<node id=“2” name=“title” /\>  
\<node id=“3” name=“title” /\>  
\<node id=“4” name=“title” /\>  
\</nodes\>

and return equal nodes.

Can’t figure it out. Hope to see your reply.

Joe
