    <p>I am parsing a XML file with a format of:</p> <p>**NOTE: This is a very simplified version of the XML. There are 11 divisions, and 87 departments total</p> <pre><code>&lt;division&gt; &lt;name&gt; Sciences &lt;/name&gt; &lt;departments&gt; &lt;department&gt; &lt;name&gt; Computer Science &lt;/name&gt; &lt;/department&gt; &lt;department&gt; &lt;name&gt; Biology &lt;/name&gt; &lt;/department&gt; &lt;department&gt; &lt;name&gt; Chemistry &lt;/name&gt; &lt;/department&gt; &lt;/department&gt; &lt;/division&gt; </code></pre> <p>What I am hoping to do is display this info in a UITableView, with Division names as the Sections, and the department names within each appropriate section. </p> <p>I have a NSDictionary called divisionDict which I want to store NSArrays for each division; containing the departments. I also have a NSMutableArray called departmentArray, which contains each of the departments. So essentially, I want a divisionDict filled with departmentArrays.</p> <p>Here is my code for parsing the XML, which works perfect, I am just having trouble storing separate arrays in the dictionary. When it goes through the parse now, and I try to print out the elements in the array with key "Sciences", it prints the departments for every division, not just the Sciences.</p> <pre><code>if(node_divisions) { node_division = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"division" parentElement:node_divisions]; while (node_division) { node_divisionName = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"name" parentElement:node_division];]; node_departments = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"departments" parentElement:node_division]; node_department = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"department" parentElement:node_departments]; divisionName = [TBXML textForElement:node_divisionName]; while(node_department) { node_departmentName = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"name" parentElement:node_department]; departmentName = [TBXML textForElement:node_departmentName]; //add the department name to the array [departmentArray addObject:departmentName]; node_department = node_department-&gt;nextSibling; } //add the departmentArray to the dictionary, using the division name as the key [divisionDict setObject:departmentArray forKey:divisionName];; node_division = node_division-&gt;nextSibling; } } </code></pre> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated!!! I know its something simple I am missing probably but I have been looking at this for too many hours now and I just can't see it. If you need any other info, just let me know, I tried to explain everything in detail.</p> <p>Also, here is a picture that hopefully helps show what I am trying to describe: <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/a9nSb.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.stack.imgur.com/a9nSb.png</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
