Problem in Parsing an XML

Question

I have saved the XML data into a variable and want to retrive the values in XML and store them in separate variables.While trying to do this with Parsing I encounter an error in DOM creation.I have tried out following codes in Form:Ready event.But those are not working.
When I place a messagebox on top of the line which creates DOM its displaying the message.But it is not displaying when I place it in line next to line which creates DOM.So i think it is problem with the line of Creating DOM.Please help me out.Its very urgent.I have delivery in 2 days.
var temp = xfa.resolveNode("$data.nodes.item(0)");
var test = temp.saveXML();
// Now create the DOM:
var x = XML.parse(test);
var policy = x.resolveNodes("policies");
var number = policy.item(0);
var company = number.getElement("CNACompany").value;
var temp = xfa.resolveNode("$data.nodes.item(0)");
var test = temp.saveXML();
// Now create the DOM:
var x = XMLData.parse(test,false);
var xPathExpr = "//data/policies/[PolicyNumber='WC 1234567890']";
var number = XMLData.applyXPath(x, xPathExpr);
With this code for creating DOM we are getting some junk value for 'x' as 57.13mm.
Thanks in Advance...

Hi,
I'm not familiar with the XML.parse() or XMLData.parse() functions. I can't identify the XML or XMLData objects. They are not declared and they are not XFA objects.
Still, it looks like you need to get and set a form/data value.
Here is an example getting the value of a form field:
Your have the following form:
  someText
  otherText
Use the SOM expression of the CNACompany field to access its value:
var CNAValue = form1.policies.CNACompany.rawValue;
If the value is not merged in the form, try searching the data DOM instead. For example:
var CNAValue = xfa.record.policies.CNACompany.value;
To set the value of a form field or data value, do as follows:
form1.policies.CNACompany.rawValue = newValue;
xfa.record.policies.CNACompany.value = "newValue";
Note: to get/set a value from the data file use the value property. To get/set a value from a form field, use the rawValue property.
Hope this helps,
