You can do xpath pointing relative to a pointer's current
"position". You can also use methods like selectParent() to navigate
a pointer around within the data.

Hi
I was perusing the calendar application and I noticed that to drill
down into an event date the xpath was set progressively on a
datapointer (first year then month then day) like
dp.setXPath('year2007')
..
dp.setXPath('month4')
...
dp.setXPath('day3')
And this navigated an xml document like
<year2007><month4><day3><event>...</event></day3></month4></year2007>
I always assumed that the xpath for a datapointer was required to
be the full path to the dataset.. and I would have thought the
syntax you would need to use was
dp.setXPath('eventdata:/year2007');
...
dp.setXPath('eventdata:/year2007/month4');..
(Although this would work to it is not near as flxible as the
progressively setting the node names.)
I assume this is intentional ? I haven't found any supporting
documentation and any example with the data pointers always use the
full path.
