-----Original Message----- From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 10:03 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: xmlSearch() XPath expects the expression to include the complete path needed to traverse the XML document's tree in order to find the node in question. For example, suppose you had the following XML document. <a><b><c>foobar</c></b></a> The correct XPath expression for finding the node named "c" would be as follows. /a/b/c The above is based on the fact that "c" is nested inside of "b" and "b" is nested inside of "a". For another example, suppose the you had the following XML document. <a><b /><c>foobar</c></a> The correct XPath expression for finding the node named "c" would be as follows. /a/c As you can see from the above expression "c" is no longer nested inside of "b" so the expression reflects that.
