[Tclxml-users] Help needed on using selectNode in TclDOM

[<db...@hs...>]

Hi,

I am using TclDOM to construct DOM tree for a document. Can someone
tell me how I can query the DOM tree based on attribute values of the nodes.

Best Regards,
vijay

Massive plug: This will be covered in the TclDOM tutorial at
the upcoming Tcl Conference in Vancouver.  So enrol in the
tute, register for the conference and come to Vancouver!

====

selectNode accepts an XPath expression and returns a (static)
list of nodes that match the expression.  To learn about
XPath, grab any good book on XSLT, such as Mike Kay's
XSLT Programmer's Reference.

With XPath, attributes may be selected using the attribute::
axis, or '@' for short.  For example, //*/@href will select
all attributes named 'href' in the document.

HTHs,
Steve Ball
