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>
