[dom4j-user] Selecting by id

[Evan Kirkconnell]

Hello all,
Another issue I've run into is an inability to select by id.  I have the 
following code, and the only one that works is the 2nd one which is 
iterative.  I'm thinking the other two use an actual index.
   public Node getById(String id){
       //return root.selectSingleNode("id('"+id+"')");
       return root.selectSingleNode("/descendant::[EMAIL PROTECTED]'"+id+"']");
       //return root.elementByID(id);
   }
Attached is my xml file, which validates as an XHTML document.  It's my 
understanding that the XHTML doctype defines "id" to be the unique 
identifier.
Thanks for any help,
--Evan
