Ian,

At 12:29 PM 1/14/2004, you wrote:
At the moment it does not look like I will have to
pass another element to this method (other than the
context) but what if I do?  Since passing the element
as a parameter and then using '$element[(_at_)name]' did
not work is there another way?

It will work: we do this all the time. Sometimes it's even recommended to do this even when you don't have to, instead of relying on context implicitly (it's more versatile and clearer for maintenance).

As I said earlier, check whether $element[(_at_)name] really gets you what you want, and not something else. $element[(_at_)name] is not the same as $element/@name. :->

Cheers,
Wendell
