Need help with XML...

For my amusement and at the same time attempting to learn XML, I have
a written a simple dictionary webpage. The user enters a word and and
clicks on the find button. The webpage should search the XML file and
if found populates the webpage with the definition of the word. I
have written the webpage and the XML file. But I am stuck with the
searching part. I can not figure this out. How do I get the webpage
to search the XML file and populate the webpage?

Thanks for your,

You can use XSLT with a <param name="query"/> in the beginning, and then
use e.g. PHPs xslt_process
(http://ch.php.net/manual/en/function.xslt-process.php) to give $query a
value. By doing so, you can use $query in the stylesheet to select the
right parts of the XML file.

I hope someone can help me, because what I'm going through at the moment trying to edit XML documents is enough to make me want to never edit XML again.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
