Anyway, here you go with a fix. I've left out the control/element typing. You can do that by retrieving the "xsi:type" attribute of a selected node (so K.item()). I've also included a prototype of my own JSON interpreter, but it does not return valid JSON yet. It's only to give you a basic idea of the object that has been created by parseFile().

---

Ok, let's see.

Javascript code:

---

var ControlsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Controls/Control";
var ElementsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Elements/Element";
// Define objects that contain the control types, subdevided into control/element IDs
ret.Interface[WindowId] = new Object();
ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls = new Object();
ret.Interface[WindowId].Elements = new Object();

---

1) Am I able to create my own, like this?  For example, to get the window title:

Javascript code:

---

var CaptionsXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/Attributes/Caption";
var TitlesXPath = "//Interfaces/Window[@Id=\"" + WindowId + "\"]/TitleBar/Title/Text";

---

But...  it can't be enumerated:

Javascript code:

---

var K = new Enumerator(xml.selectNodes(CaptionsXPath));

---

It's different, because the value isn't "<Item Parameter="Value">", but "<Item>Value</Item>".  How can I get that?

Javascript code:

---

var K = new Enumerator(xml.selectNodes(ControlsXPath));
if(K.count() > 0) {
    for(; !K.atEnd(); K.moveNext()) {
        var ControlNode = K.item();
        var ControlId = ControlNode.getAttribute("Id");
        // Define an object for this control type (as in ButtonControl or StaticControl) that contains the actual control
        // Only done when necessary
        if(ControlId in ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls) {
            //[alert the user that there's 2 or more controls with the same ID]
            continue;
        }
        // You'll have to do your own stuff here
        ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls[ControlId] = "null" //[JScript control definition stuff]
    }
}

---

2a) If that gets a control ID, then I assume that getting the type uses the same method, replacing ".getAttribute("Id")" with ".getAttribute("xsi:type")", right?
2b) Would this work:

Javascript code:

---

var K = new Enumerator(xml.selectNodes(ControlsXPath + "/Position"));
for(; !K.atEnd(); K.moveNext()) {
    var ControlNode = K.item();
    var ControlLeft = ControlNode.getAttribute("Left");
    // Define an object for this control type (as in ButtonControl or StaticControl) that contains the actual control
    // Only done when necessary
    if(ControlId in ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls) {
        //[alert the user that there's 2 or more controls with the same ID]
        continue;
    }
    // You'll have to do your own stuff here
    ret.Interface[WindowId].Controls[ControlId] = "null" //[JScript control definition stuff]
}

I apologise for so many questions, but this is a confusing topic for me... 

EDIT: yes, I slept well.  10 good hours.

Go to the Script Menu > "Interface Writer" > "Create a new interface...".
