http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4908 XPath's text() and node() selectors get confused by CDATA sections ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-11-16 10:55 ------- Sorry, I thought I had given an example. Take the document from my initial message: <?xml version="1.0"?> <doc> This is the first line. <element/><![CDATA[A CDATA section.]]> This is the last line. </doc> count(/doc/node()) returns 3 count(/doc/text()) returns 2 /doc/text()[1] returns <LF>This is the first line<LF> All good so far. But /doc/text()[2] returns <![CDATA[A CDATA section.]]> /doc/node[3] also returns this. That is, text[2] (AKA node[3]) has two problems: 1. It returns the CDATA bracketing, which should presumably be removed. 2. It loses the text following the CDATA section, which should also be part of text[2]. Note that string(/doc) correctly returns: This is the first line. A CDATA section. This is the last line. Note also that all of this output was produced by the ApplyXPath sample application.
