Using Non-destructive filter with Nested XML data

Question

Hi,
How do you use Non-destructive filter with Nested XML data?
I am using the non-destructive filter sample with my own xml which is setup to search for the <smc></smcs> in my xml below. But when i test it it only searches the last row of the "smc". How can i make it work so it can search for repeating nodes? or does it have something to with how my xml is setup?
    <ja>
        <url>www.sample.com</url>
        <jrole>Jobrole goes here</jrole>
        <prole>Process role goes here...</prole>
        <role>description...</role>
        <prole>Process role goes here...</prole>
        <role>description....</role>
        <prole>Process role goes here...</prole>
        <role>description...</role>
        <sjc>6K8C</sjc>
        <sjc>6B1B</sjc>
        <sjc>6B1F</sjc>
        <sjc>6B1D</sjc>
        <smc>6C9</smc>
        <smc>675</smc>
        <smc>62R</smc>
        <smc>62P</smc>
        <smc>602</smc>
        <smc>622</smc>
        <smc>642</smc>
        <smc>65F</smc>
        <smc>65J</smc>
        <smc>65L</smc>
        <smc>623</smc>
        <smc>625</smc>
        <smc>624</smc>
        <smc>622</smc>
        <audience>Target audience goes here....</audience>
    </ja>
here is the javascript that runs it.
function FilterData()
    var tf = document.getElementById("filterTF");
    if (!tf.value)
        // If the text field is empty, remove any filter
        // that is set on the data set.
        ds1.filter(null);
        return;
    // Set a filter on the data set that matches any row
    // that begins with the string in the text field.
    var regExpStr = tf.value;
if (!document.getElementById("containsCB").checked)
        regExpStr = "^" + regExpStr;
    var regExp = new RegExp(regExpStr, "i");
    var filterFunc = function(ds, row, rowNumber)
        var str = row["smc"];
        if (str && str.search(regExp) != -1)
        return row;
        return null;
    ds1.filter(filterFunc);
function StartFilterTimer()
    if (StartFilterTimer.timerID)
        clearTimeout(StartFilterTimer.timerID);
    StartFilterTimer.timerID = setTimeout(function() { StartFilterTimer.timerID = null; FilterData(); }, 100);
I really need help on this, or are there any other suggestions or samples that might work?
thank you!

I apologize, im using Spry XML Data Set. i guess the best way to describe what im trying to do is, i want to use the Non-desctructive filter sample with the Spry Nested XML Data sample. So with my sample xml on my first post and with the same code non-destructive filter is using, im having trouble trying to search repeating nodes, for some reason it only searches the last node of the repeating nodes. Does that make sense? let me know.
thank you Arnout!
