RE: [xsl] XPATH and MSXML

[Don Bruey <dbruey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just went through this myself.  Dimitre N.  set me straight on a MS
newsgroup.  You need to tell DOM to accept and use XPath expressions.  In VB
it would be something like this although I don't know the exact VB syntax.

XMLDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath")

Subject: [xsl] XPATH and MSXML


Hi all,
	I'm using MSXML3 latest build to perform some
DOM Manipulation. I'm having a few problems using an XPATH
query string.

Set oDOMList = oDOM.selectNodes("ancestor::div")

I thought the XPATH Query "ancestor::wml" would select all the 'div'
ancestors of the context node if they exist. Instead I get an error:

**************
expected token 'eof' found ':'.
ancestor ->:<-:div
**************

Has anyone any ideas why this error has popped up ?

Cheers,
Ciaran.
