I just went through this myself. Dimitre N. set me straight on a MS
newsgroup. You need to tell DOM to accept and use XPath expressions. In VB
it would be something like this although I don't know the exact VB syntax.
XMLDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath")

Subject: [xsl] XPATH and MSXML
Hi all,
I'm using MSXML3 latest build to perform some
DOM Manipulation. I'm having a few problems using an XPATH
query string.
Set oDOMList = oDOM.selectNodes("ancestor::div")
I thought the XPATH Query "ancestor::wml" would select all the 'div'
ancestors of the context node if they exist. Instead I get an error:
**************
expected token 'eof' found ':'.
ancestor ->:<-:div
**************
Has anyone any ideas why this error has popped up ?
Cheers,
Ciaran.
