Data Islands - choose item
I have a long xml document, with 50 "elements" and Im using "data Islands"
on a page to display them.. but I want to pull 1 item out of the xml document
and display that on another page...
Instead of creating more than 1 xml document, I want to have 1 document,
and grap various info out of that, how can I choose the info I want?

In IE, each data island exposes a XMLDocument object which lets you use DOM
methods and XPath queries to retrieve and manipulate the contents. Here's a
very short example. Save it as an htm file and then browse to the file.
<html><head><title>Test DI</title></head>
<body>
<xml id="data">
<root>
<item>Item1</item>
<item>Item2</item>
<item>Item3</item>
<item>Item4</item>
<item>Item5</item>
</root>
</xml>
Data Island test<br>
</body></html>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xml = document.all("data");
alert("All the xml in the data island\n\n" + xml.xml);
alert("Contents of third item\n\n" +
xml.selectSingleNode("root/item[2]").text);
</script>
