Erik,

Great to see you again!
Hopefully, you will speak in the 2007 event and who cares if you’re shy!

Mark, unfortunatelly the brackets messed it up…a new try:

Document.prototype.selectNodes = function(XPath, XNode) {
if(!XNode) XNode = this;
this.ns = this.createNSResolver(this.documentElement);
this.qI = this.evaluate(XPath, XNode, this.ns, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
aResult = [];
for(i=0; i aResult[i] = this.qI.snapshotItem(i);
return aResult;
}
Document.prototype.selectSingleNode = function(XPath, XNode) {
if(!XNode) XNode = this;
this.xI = this.selectNodes(XPath, XNode);
return (this.xI.length > 0)? this.xI[0] : null ;
}
Element.prototype.selectNodes = function(XPath) {
return this.ownerDocument.selectNodes(XPath, this);
}
Element.prototype.selectSingleNode = function(XPath) {
return this.ownerDocument.selectSingleNode(XPath, this);
}

Mark, this is one way of doing it:

Document.prototype.selectNodes = function(XPath, XNode) {
if(!XNode) XNode = this;
this.ns = this.createNSResolver(this.documentElement);
this.qI = this.evaluate(XPath, XNode, this.ns, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
aResult = [];
for(i=0; i 0)? this.xI[0] : null ;
}
Element.prototype.selectNodes = function(XPath) {
return this.ownerDocument.selectNodes(XPath, this);
}
Element.prototype.selectSingleNode = function(XPath) {
return this.ownerDocument.selectSingleNode(XPath, this);
}

Sorry that this has nothing to do with the post.

I’m trying to find an answer to a problem and can’t seem to find one - I’m guessing you might be able to help.

I use a number of prototyped methods in FF to simulate IE methods, which I’m sure you’ll be familiar with. For instance this one

// to simulate IE’s .selectNodes
Document.prototype.selectNodes = function(sExpr, contextNode) {
var oResult = this.evaluate(sExpr, (contextNode? contextNode : this), this.createNSResolver(this.documentElement), XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
var nodeList = new Array(oResult.snapshotLength);
nodeList.expr = sExpr;
for(i=0;i

I don’t know jack about ajax. I know a few things about JS and DHTML but those are not cool any more

Seriously I’m not a good speaker and I’m way too shy.

“…I guess it is time for me to figure out what all this Ajax hype is all about…”

haha…”may fools day”?

Why aren’t you among the speakers?
