Re: [Laszlo-user] escape handling in xpathQuery()

[mt1]

Thank you Daniel, but I am getting confuse more.
Your code has shown "&#60;ABCD> " in the debug window and "<ABCD>" in
the text area.
That mean xpathQuery() could not handle '&#38;#60;' but <text> tag could
do it, right?
Where your point is ?

Thx
mt1
