I have noticed a couple of "anomalies" with the XQL functionality in
REALbasic, but I have generally been able to make it work by tweaking
the query.
If you try:
nodelist = element.Xql("//"+name)
does it return anything?

Hello
I just wanted to share this with people since it might help others
who are porting from REALbasic 5.5 to 2005/2006. Ever since 2005
came then I have been struggling to port 5.5 apps to 2005/2006 with
really slow progress as its sometimes difficult to pinpoint what
goes wrong in large apps.
Today I found that the following fails on REALbasic 2006r1:
Function Node(extends element as XmlNode,name as String) As XmlNode
dim nodelist as xmlnodeList
nodelist = element.Xql(name)
if nodelist.length > 0 then
return nodelist.item(0)
end if
return nil
exception e as xmlException
End Function
By fails then I mean it just does not return the node that it is
supposed to do.
The code above does the same as this code bellow. Though the fact
that the code above is failing shows that Xql broke or at least
changed in REALbasic 2006.
Function Node(extends element as XmlNode,name as String) As XmlNode
Dim i as Integer
for i = 0 to element.ChildCount-1
if element.Child(i).Name = name then
return element.Child(i)
end if
next
return nil
End Function
