Dave, It is possible to address XML elements associated with page items but this doesn't cover all of the possibilities. Some XML elements aren't associated with any page item (empty elements, the Root element). Also pageItem.associatedXMLElement only exposes the one XML element with which the pageItem has been tagged, and does not provide direct access to it's child elements. So in the end we're faced with the same problem. There could be a large number of offspring elements that cannot be addressed directly in this way. In practice this isn't usually a problem but addressing the XML elements directly seems like a more airtight approach. I guess I'll have to wait until I've absorbed more JavaScript. Thanks for responding, Phil
