RE: [xsl] Problems with usage of XPath functions as argument in selectNodes method of MSXML2

---

---

Hi,
The suggestion was helpful.But now I have another problem if I use this
statement.Now it doesnt have any problem with the "contains" function.But
oXMLDoc actually contains a XSL document.And the selectNodes property looks
something like this :
oXMLDoc.selectNodes("//xsl:text[contains(.,'abc')]")
And if I give the setProperty statement then it gives the following error :
Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'xsl'. 
Is there any way to fix this also???
Thanks,
Ratul

I don't know much about v3.0, but I've noticed in the v4 documentation
that MSXML has 2 selection languages: XPath and XSLPatterns.  May be the
wrong one is set.  You may need

  oXMLDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");

best regards, John.
