I'd assume that modification of the List returned by the XPath query does not modify the DOM tree. Try attribute.getParent().detach() instead of iter.remove(). A better approach might be to select all the img tags, use attributeValue to show the src attribute, and call detach() on each.

Hello,

I'm trying to remove all of the images in an XHTML file. Here's what I have: XPath xpath = DocumentHelper.createXPath( "//img/@src");
       xpath.setNamespaceURIs( map);

       List nodes = xpath.selectNodes( root);
              int listSize = nodes.size();
              System.out.println("List: " + listSize);
            Iterator iter = nodes.iterator();
                      while(iter.hasNext()){
           Attribute attribute = (Attribute) iter.next();
           String url = attribute.getValue();
                      System.out.println("Removing image: " + url);
                      iter.remove();
                  }
              System.out.println(document.asXML());

When I output the document to XML, the image tags are still in there. Am I missing a save or something?

Thanks!
