[AD4003]

Hi all,

When I am using the below code, It will produce the output.

     //Working

     var myXML = new XML("<tags><tag type=\"a\">name</tag></tags>");

     var typeATags = myXML.xpath("//tag[@type]").attributes();

While, Change the code with namespace. The below code is get an error.

     //Not working

     var myXML = new XML("<oasis:tags><oasis:tag type=\"a\">name</oasis:tag></oasis:tags>");     //Error at this line

     var typeATags = myXML.xpath("//oasis:tag[@type]").attributes();

Please give any helps!!

thanks,

John.

You are missing the xmlns.

var myXML = new XML("""
<oasis:tags xmlns:oasis="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/oasis-exchange/table"><oasis:tag type="a">name</oasis:tag></oasis:tags>
""");

Note that I'm also using the special syntax of three double-quotes for a multi-line string, in order to avoid escaping inside.

You can also omit the whole "new XML" and inline the actual XML:

var myXML = <oasis:tags xmlns:oasis="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/oasis-exchange/table"><oasis:tag type="a">name</oasis:tag></oasis:tags>;
