Re: XML DSO problem when XML elements have attributes

From: "Joe Fawcett" <joefawcett@---------.------>

I haven't used the XML DSO for some time but I seem to remember it turns all 
attributes into elements before binding.
So: <START><NAME ID="abc">Joe Bloggs</NAME></START>
Ends as: <START><NAME>Joe Bloggs</NAME><ID>abc</ID?</START>
or maybe the element precedes the NAME one. If some rows don't have an ID 
then you're ion trouble.
One solution is to transform the XML first to a more usable form or do the 
data binding yourself.
