My question is this... Can someone tell me what's what in an XML file. I know the root node is the start and end tags but what about elements, attributes and values. So in short i'd like to know all the WHATSTHIS's below

1. <sometag somethingelse="WHATSTHIS">BLA</sometag>
2. <sometag somethingelse="BLA">WHATSTHIS</sometag>
3. <sometag WHATSTHIS="BLA">BLA</sometag>

All I wanted to know is if each WHATSTHIS is a value, element or attribute.

3. attribute

is there a particular section of one of the MXM user guides or something you need to ask about?

Nope. Its for a for a few XAS's I'm doing.

are you going to be asking the user if they want to 'edit the tag', 'edit the attribute', 'edit the attribute-value' and stuff like that? for that purpose, i would call the 'text in the middle of the xml' (2) the 'value'...

I suppose that's what I'm doing.

The first XAS is - Xecuter2 Info. You run it and you can see all the DIP-Swith settings. You can also view you current bios info and rename the name if you want (for adding new bios)

DIP switches? Interesting to say the least. Tell me how it goes.

I thought it would kinda handy to have them on the ol' Xbox if I need to switch to certain bank without having to search on the net or around the house for the Switches

In my XML lexicon:

<Node attribute="attrvalue">
<Element Attribute="attrvalue">elementvalue</Element>
</Node>

Nodes don't have particular values.... they contain other nodes or elements.

Nodes and elements can have attributes. In MXM's parser, I make little distinction, form a generalized access point of view - it sees:

<SomeNode>
<pos x="0" y="23" />
</SomeNode>

pretty much the same as:

<SomeNode>
<pos>
<x>0</x>
<y>23</y>
</pos>
</SomeNode>

just because I felt it would be more forgiving and robust with human inputting the XML text.

I noticed that too, recently.
And that's the way the !.blah.blah.blah works too.
