[jQuery] Re: XPATH question
If you're using jQuery 1.2, you need the XPath plugin, available here: http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2#XPath_Compatibility_Plugin See here for more info: http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2#Removed_Functionality --Erik On 9/16/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I went through John Resigs screencast on using jquery with firebug at http://jquery.com/blog/2007/01/26/introduction-to-firebug-and-jquery-screencast/ I tried using xpath in the firebug console but get no results for a xpath that I get from firebug when inspecting a text element alert($(/html/body/div/div[2]/div[4]/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/ p,document).text()); also tried alert($(/html/body/div/div[2]/div[4]/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/ p).text()); Get a blank alert. Also tried adding it to the the html page to make sure it was not working from there. Whats wrong with the XPATH? I copied the xpath using firebugs Copy XPATH. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? Does anyone have a html page with working XPATH examples. I think this would really help newbies. Thanks -Milind
[jQuery] Re: XPATH question
Even with the XPath plugin, you won't be able to use that selector. jQuery always only supported a subset of XPath, not the full spec. The div[2] part, for example, won't be recognized correctly by jQuery, in any version. --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Sep 16, 2007, at 6:12 PM, Erik Beeson wrote: If you're using jQuery 1.2, you need the XPath plugin, available here: http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2#XPath_Compatibility_Plugin See here for more info: http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2#Removed_Functionality --Erik On 9/16/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I went through John Resigs screencast on using jquery with firebug at http://jquery.com/blog/2007/01/26/introduction-to-firebug-and- jquery-screencast/ I tried using xpath in the firebug console but get no results for a xpath that I get from firebug when inspecting a text element alert($(/html/body/div/div[2]/div[4]/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/ p,document).text()); also tried alert($(/html/body/div/div[2]/div[4]/div[4]/div/div/div[2]/div/ p).text()); Get a blank alert.

Ah, right. I didn't look at it that closely.
