Jay StevensSubject: XPATH Query that works in 2006 Release 2 but not in Release 3
Author: Jay Stevens

This has been preventing me from using Release 3 on a regular basis for some time:

I can't get even the simplest XPATH expressions/queries to work in the Release 3 editor. What's changed? EVERYTHING that used to work in Release 2 doesn't work now. I'm guessing it has something to do with the namespaces but I can't figure it out (and I've been trying for a while).

I've attached a demo xml file that shows the problem.

The EXCRUCIATINGLY simple xpath:

//MetricQuestionsMaster

returns 2 hits in Release 2.

when executed in Release 3 it returns jack nuttin'.

Any thoughts?

Hi Jay,
this is a bug in Stylus (the default namespace binding for the XHTML namespace is the reason for the wrong result - if you remove it from the XML it will start working again).
A fix will be prepared for the next update of Stylus 2007.

Thanks for reporting this bug,
Alberto

EXCELLENT! I'm not losing my mind, only my xhtml.

He mentioned 2006.... I'm having the same problem using your xpath query to clipboard.

With the rendered string it brings back nothing.... I can't test this against Release2 as I don't have it.... Is there a link to it so I can re-install?

Also you mentioned it would be fixed in the 2007 release. Does that mean that to get this bug fixed I have to purchase an upgrade to 2007?
