Rails - Aug 2007 - Rendering XML to a web page

I have a couple of issues...

First my XML looks like this:
<questionaire>
...<questions>
......<question>
.........<dbref>
.........<items>
............<item>
...............<text>Here is the answer to your question</text>
............</item>
.........</items>
.........<text>Here is the question</text>
......</question>
...</questions>
</questionaire>

So basically i would like to output each question within the
questionaire along with the answer to a web page. i.e. <span>Here is
the question</span> <span>Here is the answer to your
question</span>

My CONTROLLER looks like this:

def show_questionaire
require ''rexml/document''
@xml_q = Questionaire.find(params[:id])  #get the xml string from the
database
@doc_xml = REXML::Document.new(@xml_q.que_result)
end

My VIEW currently looks like this:
<% @doc_xml.elements.each("//question/text) do |element| %>
<div> <%= element[0] %> </div>
<% end %>

This outputs the list of questions, but i can''t seem to understand how
to display the answer in the same loop...

Please help,

Thanks,

Mike
P.S. i''ve read the REXML tutorial, but again i can''t see how
to get
two elements at the same time...

One way to do it would be to change your query to return the question 
nodes, and then access the child text and items/item/text node(s) from 
there...
