[Wtr-general] General XPath Question

[John Castellucci]

I’ve been crawling through xpath for the last couple of weeks, but I’ve been unable to solve a real basic problem I am having locating desired objects.     As a background, the application I am automating makes extensive use of AJAX, _javascript_, Dojo and DWR, so the DOM gets complex.   Sample XML:   <DIV class=A>    <DIV class=B>    </DIV>    <DIV class=B>    </DIV> <DIV> <DIV class=A>    <DIV class=B>    </DIV>    <DIV class=B>    </DIV>  </DIV>   Now, what I am trying to do is directly access each ‘B’ Div – i.e. :   The first B in the first A The second B in the first A The first B in the second A The second B in the second A ad infinitum…   The XML isn’t as simple as the above – since it’s dynamically updated via AJAX- based on context, there are potentially an unknown amount of elements before, after or inside the above tags.  So, stuff like:   /DIV[1]/DIV[1]   won’t work for me.   Also, while the below looks like it should work (and does on basic XML), it returns a set of *all* B elements under an A from the IE DOM:   //[EMAIL PROTECTED]’A’][1]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]’B’][1]   Any tips on cracking this nut?
