two quick questions

[tascienu@ecoaches.com]

1 - Can an element have some innerText as well as child nodes?
ie: <myel>some inner text here... <subel/></myel>
is it allowed?

2 - I have a file element... <file src="/Images/spacer.gif" />. I want
to select it...
myfile.selectSi ngleNode(File[@src='/Images/spacer.gif'])

the problem is, on windows, file names can be any case...
/IMAGES/SPACER.GIF would also be valid, but it would not select that
node. How do i deal with this?

Thanks...

"innerText" suggests that you are using some system I'm not familiar
with, but as far as XML is concerned you can certainly mix text and
elements. Just think of (X)HTML: <p>Some <b>bold</b> text.</p>

Well, I'd start by not using Windows, but you might also find the
translate() function useful:

File[translate(@src, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ",
"abcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz") = '/images/spacer.gif']

This will not of course work for non-English characters, but you don't
seem to have any of them.
