how to strip namespaces with e4x?
- by SorcyCat
I have an arbitrary XML document provided by a URL. I also have an xpath-like expressions.
var xml = <doc><node1><node2><node3>some value</node3></node2></node1></doc>;
var path = "node1.node2.node3";
I need to verify if the above path into the XML is valid. I tried to do this using eval and E4X.
var value = eval("xml."+path);
However, my actual xml document has namespaces which are getting in the way. I do not know the namespaces ahead of time or care what they are.
Is there a way to strip all the namespaces out ahead of time? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
