Subject: RE: [slightly OT] question about PAX and XPath

Hi, Malcolm,

I know that selectNodes and selectSingleNodes *do* take XPath; however, my understanding (pls correct if I'm wrong!) was that these methods are MS extensions of the DOM, and not part of any of the DOM standards (1,2, or 3) ... hence my concern about using them and my (so far fruitless) quest to find standard methods that accept XPath ...

Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

selectNodes and selectSingleNodes do take XPath. I assume you're using MSXML4, in which case you have to do:
...
oMyDOM.load url
oMyDOM.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
..
set oMyNodeSet = oMyDOM.selectNodes(SomeXPath)
Not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the MS DOM supporting some pre-XPath query language. The SDK for the MSXML4 is pretty good.

cheers

Malcolm
