Re: Witango-Talk: Old Witango XML Bug

[John McGowan]

Because the code I'm writing has to run on 5 now and on 5.5 later.  
Having it fixed in 5.5 wouldn't have changed my approach that much, 
because it still wouldn't work now.  I'm just diappointed that the new 
server doesn't have better support.  I thought that all the XML stuff 
was redone.  But the fact that this bug still exists tells me that the 
@DOM related tags are running the same code they used to.   I thought 
they were going to us an external library like xerces for XML parsing 
and that would apply to xpointer as well.

I guess not....
It's okay.. I worked around it for now.
I could swear that when we ran into this bug a long time ago we raised 
an issue with pervasive or with at the time. (this was a long time ago 
that we first discovered the bug, it affects attributes named "id" as 
well as elements.

Could someone on this side of the globe help me out with something.
There is a bug that exists up to Witango 5.0.  For some reason the DOM 
parser can't seem to find elements named "id"

For example, the following code
<@assign Name="domvar" Scope="Local"
Value=<@Dom Value="<root><id>X</id><othertag>Y</othertag></root>">
   

id=<@ELEMENTVALUE
OBJECT="domvar"
SCOPE="Local"
ELEMENT="root().child(1,id)">
<br>
othertag=<@ELEMENTVALUE
OBJECT="domvar"
SCOPE="Local"
ELEMENT="root().child(1,othertag)">
returns
id=
othertag=Y
when it should return
id= X
othertag=Y
If someone has a 5.5 server could they please run the test taf attached 
to this message just so I can know if the problem is fixed in 5.5.

Thanks,
John
