Get Specific Node Values

Hello All,

I am doing a little xml learning.
Here is what I want to do....

I want to select a node where a child node has a specific value. Once I have that node, I then want to get other specific child node values to use/display in my html.
So, I am searching the xml file for a specific value in a node. Once found, I want to select the parent of that node and then get at the child node values.

Example:

Code:
<?xml version=1.0"?>
  <locations>
    <loc>
      <id>121</id>
      <user>Joe Smith</user>
      <section>AAA</section>
    </loc>
    <loc>
      <id>122</id>
      <user>Bill Jones</user>
      <section>BBB</section>
    </loc>
  </locations>
So I want to search the xml file above and select the "loc" node whose "id" node value = 122. I then want to get the remaining child nodes (user and section) from that selected "loc" node.

I am using javascript to do this.

It seems it should be easy enough to do....I just have not gotten anything to work yet.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mike
