Hi Tom, XPATH is only applied on document object not on node object as far as my knowledge is concerned. if you want to make it work on the node. create a new document object using.
Document doc = new DocumentImpl(); and import the node from the doc using. Node tempNode = doc.importNode(node,true); doc.appendChild(tempNode); and apply xpath on this "doc" object. It will work perfectly. regards, Sridhar -----Original Message----- From: tom john [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 11:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Extracting node from DOM Document Hi, I need to search for a value using xpath to a node i get from a document. So first i get a required node from the document. and then send this node to run xpath. works fine but there is a serious problem. XPathAPI searches for the requested value in the first node of the whole document, not the node that i pass. I am new but my guess is when i pass node to XPathAPI it searches the whole document (node.getOwnerDocument()). What is a solution to it? thankx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
