Watch the whitesapce. I think you mean /card[name="
Hank Aaron "]
you could use the normalize-space() function to
trim whitespace inside the element text
/card[normalize-space(name)="Hank
Aaron"]

Subject: [Jaxen] trying to understand
element string value
I can build a node set and select nodes with the
following syntax and included xml file, but how do I select based on
an element's string value? I am trying to learn the w3c recommendations but it
is not easily digested. I am using Jaxen 1.0. Also, there is a preceding / in
front of the following syntax but my email app enjoys doing something I don't
want it to do ..
/card (builds a node set of 2)
/card[year=1973] (builds a nodeset of 1)
/card[name="Hank Aaron"] (builds a nodeset of 0,
why, what is the correct syntax?, is it possible to search based on a
substring of this, for example, "Aaron"?)
<?xml
version="1.0"?>
<cards>
<card>
<name> Hank Aaron
</name>
<year> 1973
</position>
</card>
<card>
<name> Brooks
Robinson </name>
<year> 1980 </position>
</card>
</cards>
