The two Xpath expressions are not equivalent. In particular, // is not the same as */. I suspect that is the root of the problem. */form == select all <form> elements that are children of the current context node //form == select all <form> elements that are descendants of the current context node Make sense?

Hi, I have been using WebTest and XPath for a while, and I know WebTest uses org.apache.xpath, but can anyone tell me why the following XPath statement fails with a xpath test: */fo...@name="login"]/*/sele...@id="locale"] matched no nodes <verifyXPath description="simple match" xpath='*/fo...@name="login"]/*/sele...@id="locale"]'/> And this one passes the test <verifyXPath description="simple match" xpath='//fo...@name="login"]//sele...@id="locale"]'/> Thanks Mark Winney _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
