XMLTools.selectString Issue

[JoseyWales]

Be sure your post includes:

I'm using SmartGWT 2.4 with IE 7.

I'm having a problem with the selectString method of the XMLTools class.

The following statement returns a "1", which is what I expect:

XMLTools.selectString("<accountlist><account><acct_id>1</acct_id></account></accountlist>", "acct_id")

However, the next statement returns null:

XMLTools.selectString("<accountlist><account><acct_id>1</acct_id></account><account><acct_id>2</acct_id></account></accountlist>", "acct_id")

From the javadocs, selectString will return the first occurrence if there is more than one matching node.

Any thougths?

Both should return null, unless you've tripped across some weird IE7 bug. One correct XPath to find all occurrences of acct_id would be "//acct_id".
