Above is the XML file. I’ve a function to reade the nodes of the XML that is “dispTree”. xmlStr is the XMl Object.

\_root.dispTree(xmlStr.firstChild.childNodes[1], 3);

The call returns “Jain”

What is arrat index we can refer Kirupa.

is it something like \_root.dispTree(xmlStr.firstChild.childNodes[1], [3][1]);

I’m little confused how to pass that node index to dispTree function (Kirupa node)

Any help will really appreciable:ponder:
