If you have an xml document with tags in two different namespaces you cannot search for nodes in the namespace that appears second. Normally you would add the additional namespace as a property in your xsl template or with the xmlDdocument.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",<br />"xmlns:some_ns") WebPexDev 0 0 2007-05-21T16:43:39 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/functions-pt2123.htm#1871 This page ABSOLUTELY needs a list of unsupported XPath syntax and functions. The trial-and-error to find out what portion of XPath you can use is maddening. mvecera 0 0 2003-09-12T23:24:48 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/functions-pt2123.htm#1242 It's worth saying that XmlSearch() works only with XPath expressions that returns a "node list" and, unfortunately, it throw an error if the XPath expression returns a string, a boolean or a number. For example, the code below should return the number of elements available in a XML document, but it throws an error. XmlSearch(xmlDoc,"count(//*)") While the same functionality can be easily achieved accessing the XML doc as a structure, this issue prevents us from taking advantage of many useful XPath functionalities. 0 0 2003-08-11T02:09:07 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/functions-pt2123.htm#1068 Can we see more xpath query examples? It's confusing for me still. dave-007 0 0 2003-06-19T20:16:00
