parse xhtml with xpath??? - .NET Framework

Lore Leunoeg

Hello

Can I parse an XHTML Document with XPath?

I tried the following expressions with the following XHTML Document with n
o result:
Removing the doctype and the namespace (xmlns) statemens I get the expected
result . Problem: I need the doctype and the namespace tags in my document.

Thank you
Sincerely Lore

Expressions: *********************************************
/html
/html/@xmlns
//p
/html/body/div/p[@id='USA']
XTHML-Dokument: ************************************************** *
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">
<head></head>
<body>
<div>
<p id="USA">
Empire Burlesque<br/>
Bob Dylan<br/>
10.90
</p>
<p id="UK">
Hide your heart<br/>
Bonnie Tyler<br/>

Yes, XHTML is XML so you can select nodes in an XHTML document with XPath.

To select nodes in a default namespace see

/html

You could simply do
/*
or
/*[local-name() = 'html']
but check the link above about the proper way to bind a prefix (e.g.
xhtml to the namespace URI http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml) and to use
/xhtml:html
