XPath: element & attributes' name & value

[UncleRic]

XPath neophyte here...

I want to be able to drill down into a DOM object within Firefox and extract a particular element's attributes and their values.

For example, I would like to extract the string value of the attribute 'client' which is "COUNTRYWIDE".

DOM object within Javascript:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<powerstream version="08.00"  name="powerstream" memo="" disable="n">

    <project client="COUNTRYWIDE" client_code="COU" project="COUPON_LETTER" project_code="CLTR" id="1" name="project" memo="" disable="n"/>

...

</powerstream>

The Javascript code starts out as follows:
Code:

Code: Select all

// Selecting 'id' attribute of element 'project':

var xpathResult = document.evaluate("//project[@client]", domDoc, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null );

All I know for now, is how to grab the particular attribute. But I haven't found any info on how to extract its value(s). Is there a [@client].getValue structure or equiv?

What would be the W3C syntax here? I can't find it.

Thanks.
