Subject: Re: [xsl] Error in XPath expression with IE From: António Mota <amsmota@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 09:26:34 -0800 |
I'm solving this by using this piece of sh**, hmm, code var nodes=xmlDoc.selectNodes("(//Menu)["+(pos)+"]/MenuTitulo")[0]; var xpath=""; var parent="../../" while(nodes!=null){ xpath=">> "+Sarissa.serialize(nodes) + xpath; nodes = xmlDoc.selectNodes("(//Menu)["+(pos)+"]/"+parent+"MenuTitulo")[0]; parent+="../../"; } i'm successively adding ../../ to the xpath expression to get the grand-parent of the Menu i'm in (selected by pos) and getting the node... That's unbelivable i have to do this like this. And i still have a problem, it seems some msxml uses a XPath 0 based and some others 1 based. When pos=1 in some i get 2 values instead of 1!!! I'm turning this to the Sarissa guys for help, but if someone on this list can help i'll be extremilly thankful.
