The root element is simply accessible as
req.responseXML .documentElemen t

The root node in the XPath data model is the document node in the DOM
model thus if you want to access the root node then you simply need
req.responseXML
However you can't import document nodes.

When dealing with elements in a namespace you should instead use the
method getElementsByTa gNameNS() and properly specify the namespace in
addition to the local name, like

.getElementsByT agNameNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'svg');

You would select '/*' to get the root element as opposed to the root
node.

OK, then, i do have to assume i was somehow "lucky" when not specifying
the ns ? (that works without it)

or could i do that using DOM/XPath ?

ie something like :
req.responseXML .evaluate('/',document, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY _TYPE,
null);

>

node.

then a dom/xpath expression isn't equivalent to an xslt/xpath one ?

i understand '/*' takes the root + everything below it.

'/' takes the node only.

and again, i'd have to specify the ns :

'/xhtml|svg|math: *'

this is unclear to me because when i specify '//xhtml:body' (for example
in the dropdown at
<http://thoraval.yvon.f ree.fr/Fixed_layout/editable_dropdo wn.xhtmlonly
tested on Mac OS X : firefox ans safari)

i'm able to log the children and attributes.

i think i misunderstood the difference between node and element...

No, this matches any element that is a child of the root node. There can
only be one element with the root node as parent, the root element. This
is the same wherever you use XPath. The root node and everything below
it would be //node(), for example.

But //* is very different from /*.

Just for your Information:

Internet Explorer gives a download Requester for each xhtml file (sent

you can, but it is not nice and can only used for IE, because Opera und
FF don't support this as a HTML mess.

OK, seems strange to me the fact the guys of Microsoft have less man
power than Apple for that kind of things...

they argue about "improving our CSS support" and html parser where i
discovered today the latest WebKit (safari) even the Gtk version for
gnome is 100% Acid3 test successfull...

tchuss !
