/html:html/html:head/html:title
How you set the 'html' prefix is dependent upon how you're generating your XPath selectors. I assume you're using DOM4J since you posted to this list, so here's one way that may work:
Document doc = ...;
XPath xpath = doc.createXPath("/html:html/html:head/html:title");
// manually tell the xpath about our prefix
xpath.setNamespaceContext(Collections.singletonMap("html", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";);
Element titleElem = (Element)xpath.selectSingleNode(doc);
Also, check the archives of the list for more info on this, since it come up a lot.
best, christian.

Hi!
I use CyberNeko in order to parse HTML pages. I now came across some that does
makes me go nuts since the xpath expression /HTML/HEAD/TITLE returns null (so
does everything except /HTML) despite it is there - really. I even "dumped"
the struture using dom4j's DocumentTreeModel and did so manually, too.
It seems that it does have something to do with the xmlns declaration:
<!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";> <head> <title>...
Well, but what does this have to do with my xpath?
Anybody having a clue about this?
