Hi Karl,
I did try that - just tested it again to make sure.
For example:
alert( $("/xmlelement").children().length );
or
alert( $("//xmlelement").children().length );
Firefox = 4 in both cases
IE7 = 0 in both cases
The XML again was:
<xmlelement>
<subelement1></subelement1>
<subelement2></subelement2>
<subelement3></subelement3>
<subelement4></subelement4>
</xmlelement>

Hi Matthew,
Not sure, haven't tried this, but the problem might be that you have two
slashes before xmlelement. Is <xmlelement> the document root? If so, try it
with only one beginning slash:
$("/xmlelement")

Maybe this is just not possible in jQuery yet? I find it strange how it
works fine in Firefox, but not IE7 though.
Am I iterating incorrectly? Is there another method I should be using? I
have tried a number of different methods but simply cannot get IE to give me
a list of child nodes that I can iterate thru.
Any help appreciated . I am about to give up on Xpath in jQuery otherwise.
Regards,
Matthew

Subject: [jQuery] getting children using XPath in IE
Hi all,
I am getting quite confused here with trying to use XML/Xpath in IE.
Let's imagine that I have the following XML in my page:
<xmlelement>
<subelement1></subelement1>
<subelement2></subelement2>
<subelement3></subelement3>
<subelement4></subelement4>
</xmlelement>
How do I traverse through all the children of "xmlelement"?
In Firefox this works fine:
$("//xmlelement").children().each(function(e)
{
alert("hi")
})
In Internet Explorer (I am using ver 7) I get nothing at all.
Any clues much appreciated.
