Hey, I have a reference to a XML node which is part of a bigger XML tree. Is there a way to get that elements next/previous sibling without accessing the parent and looking for it? Something like DOM's nextSibling would be what I look for. edit: Given that there is no natural way to do this with E4X, I'll just stick to the following (e...

Does anyone know of a trick to ignore upper/lower/camelcase on XML node names and attributes? A quick example: I give an XML file to my client which contains an XML attribute named fooID but the client could change the XML, and - not being aware of upper/lowercaseness change or add an attribute under 'fooid'. Naturally my parser (in AS3...
It's coming from this line of code: var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == nNode.parent().@question_questionID)[0]; nNode is an XML node sent as an argument to the function this is called in. The code runs, and does everything expected but the compiler sends out that warning. D...

E4X (Ecma-357) is an extension to ECMAScript that adds XML literals as first-class primitives. That's awesome, but with only Mozilla and Adobe support (without V8 and IE support too), E4X is virtually dead from a web developer's perspective that has to support users with any modern browser. What other work is being done around implemen...
