Re: [xsl] Navigating XML when loaded using Javascript.

[António Mota <amsmota@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't quite understand what you're doing, but i'm using Javascipt
(cross-browser open-source project Sarissa) and i get what i want from
the xml doc by using xpath, like in

var nodes = xmlDoc.selectNodes("(//Menu)["+pos+"]/ancestor-or-self::Menu/MenuTitulo");

Hope it helps at least a little...
