XMLTools problem with Chrome 45

[JLE.REFLEXE]

Hello,

Since the last version of Chrome (45), it seems it's not possible to get the value of an attribute in a XML document with a XPath query.

Here is a simple example to reproduce :

var xmlDoc = XMLTools.parseXML('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>' +
									'<values id="c730cd18">' +
									'	<value key="1" label="SOC I">TADA</value>' +
									'	<value key="2" label="SOC II">TODO</value>' +
									'</values>');
							
var xpathResult1 = XMLTools.selectString(xmlDoc, '/values/value[1]/@label');
console.log("xpathResult1:", xpathResult1);

With all browsers except Chrome 45, the result will be : "xpathResult1: SOC I"

With Chrome 45 the result is : "xpathResult1: "

Tested and detected with SmartClient 8.3, the problem is the same with the last version of SmartClient.

It seems there is the same report on SmartGWT in this entry : http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=33436

Is it a bug in SmartClient or in Chrome ?

A solution

I found a solution. The problem is in XMLTools.getElementText : there is already a message in the source code about a change in Firefox 13/14 and it seems it's the same problem since Chrome 45 :

from Firefox 13 to Firefox 14 XML nodes representing attributes were changed
to no longer have a #text child.

So I added a test on "isc.Browser.isChrome" when there is no child and "nodeType" is 2. In my case with this change all is running fine.

I hope it can help.

Noticed the same problem. Will this be fixed upstream?
