Perform the following three XPath queries on the XML Document below:
Line 87:
</cfsavecontent>
<cfset xml = xmlParse(xmlString)>
<!--- First Task --->
<cfset itemSearch = xmlSearch(xml, "//item")>
<!--- item = the first Item (xml element object) --->
<cfset item = itemSearch[1]>
<!--- Second Task --->
<cfset priceSearch = xmlSearch(xml, "//price")>
<!--- loop and print each price --->
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(priceSearch)#" index="i">
#priceSearch[i].xmlText#<br/>
</cfloop>
<!--- Third Task --->
<!--- array of all the name elements --->
<cfset names = xmlSearch(xml, "//name")>
<!--- visualize the results --->
<cfdump var="#variables#">

Although some browsers support XPath, working with XML is much easier with E4X.
//create XML object from file
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'file.xml', false);
xhr.send(null);
var doc = new XML(xhr.responseText);
//get first <item> element
var firstItem = doc..item[0];
alert( firstItem );
//output contents of <price> elements
for each( var price in doc..price ) {
alert( price );
}
//add <name> elements to array
var names = [];
for each( var name in doc..name ) {
names.push( name );
}
alert( names );
