Hi All,

The follwoing is my xml  
\<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=“[http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/](http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/)”\>  
soap:Body  
  
  
  
  
.  
.  
.  
.  
.  
  
.  
.  
  
  
\</soap:Body\>  
\</soap:Envelope\>  
by the following code i could reach up to parent node by using hpricot.  
Now i need “Id” attribute value of all 's for each parent.  
Can any one help me.

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘hpricot’  
doch = Hpricot(resp\_data.receive\_string)  
doch.search(“parent”).each do |parent|  
puts parent.attributes[‘name’]  
puts (parent/“refinement”)  
end

Thanx  
Chinna.
