Well it's an HTML document. It does have an xmlns declaration, although
it's been a while since I've done any XML so I don't remember exactly
what that does. But the elements themselves, like <meta> don't have any
namespace prefixed to them.
The xmlns declaration is:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="fr">
Thanks for your help

namespace?

Hello,
I'm having an issue with a very simple Xpath expression. I don't quite
understand why this fails. Probably missing something obvious. This is
just a simple example:
SAXReader r = new SAXReader();
try {
Document document = r.read(new File("c:\\file.xml"));
Element metaEle = (Element)
document.selectSingleNode("//meta");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Now < file.xml > definitely has a meta element but this always returns
null. I've tried also selectNodes to see if that makes any difference. I
tried with a bunch of other tags but they all fail unless if I put in
the root tag. If I'm not mistaken though "//meta" should return all meta
elements in the document??? Thanks for any help with this.
Matt
