Post a real (eg. XML validating XHTML document that shows this issue so I
can run it in Xselerator). There is no reason why the Xpath I posted should
not work unless your XHTML is a bit funky (eg. namespaces etc., DOM type, or
the method of executing the XPath statement).
This XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<p id="rmb"/>
</root>
And this XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="//p[@id='rmb']">
<p>Found the node</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Produce:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<p>Found the node</p>
Proving that the XPath works (at least in XSLT implementation which should
be identical to selectSingleNod e implementation.
As a test, the following html client side Javascript gave an alert box
showing the selected node XML indicating that the node was found.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script language="Javas cript">
var pobjXML = new ActiveXObject(" Msxml2.DOMDocum ent.4.0");
pobjXML.async = false;
pobjXML.load("m ydoc.xml");
alert("XML document is: " + pobjXML.xml);
var pstrXPath = "//p[@id='rmb']";
alert("XPath is: " + pstrXPath);
var pobjNode = pobjXML.selectS ingleNode(pstrX Path);
if (pobjNode){
alert("Selected node xml is: " + pobjNode.xml);
}
else{
alert('Node not found');
}
</script>
<p>Test completed</p>
</body>
</html>

Hi All!
In the code below, I am reading in an xhtml document and attempting to use
selectNodes to find a <p id="rmb"> node..
But the result is:
2 - */*
0 - */p[@id = "rmb"]
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
Any ideas would be most appreciated!
Rob
