Re: [xsl] Xpath problem

["Kanthi Damodaran" <kdsm17 at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Jeni -

Thanks for the input, I think its very likely that this could be the 
problem.  But I tried what you suggested and couldn't get it to work.  I am 
using a cached DOM and calling it thus

Set objCachedDOM = Application("CachedXMLDOM").cloneNode(true)

And I assume this should still work if I did the following : -

   objCachedDOM .setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath")
   objCachedDOM .selectSingleNode("//Outer[value = '2111']")

But somehow I see no change in the results ...

Thanks
Kan
