Hi
Not surprising, I havent had any luck either with xpath syntax like
[/name/text()='" + this.value + "']"; What I did end up doing is
creating a datapointer and walking through the elements manually,
stopping on the match...
Laszlo doesnt support the "full" xpath syntax and I am assuming that
is one of the syntax's it does not support...
