his XML is fine, its either the chattyfig server or our email clients stripping his xml..
//product[colors[clr='red']] will only return results if the first clr child node of the colors tag has a value of red. the correct syntax to return any clr child of colors that matches red would be : //product[colors/clr[.='red']] but neither the xfactor studio xpath parser or the mx.xpath.xpathAPI classes return anything for that xpath query. I tested it in internet explorer and it works fine. grant ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Wilcox [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: 11/3/05 10:00 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] XPath Error... > Well spotted hadn't seen the inconsistent xml, which means you're also > right about the XPath... > > > > Chris Wilcox > ________________________________ > > > > > Bounce Digital Ltd > 12 Goslett Yard | London | WC2H 0EQ UK > T +44(0)207 478 4488 | www.bouncedigital.co.uk > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Muzak > Sent: 03 November 2005 14:09 > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XPath Error... > > But the xml structure is not consistent (unless there was a typo). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > So, if i'm not mistaken, this "//product[colors[clr= 'green']]" will > only work for the second part (multiple 'colors' nodes), not > the first one. > > regards, > Muzak > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris Wilcox" > To: "Flashcoders mailing list" > Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 2:30 PM > Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] XPath Error... > > > Hmm... it works if you nest the predicate bit to... > > "//product[colors[clr= 'green']]" > > ...apparently (after quick google) this is legal XPath. > > > Chris Wilcox > ________________________________ > > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > ______________________________________________________________________ > This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. > ______________________________________________________________________ > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. > ______________________________________________________________________ > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
