The following statement works fine in FF but dies silently in IE9. Used to work in IE7.

tmproomsuppnightprice = newAvail.doXPath("//RoomCategory[@Id='001:ART5']/HotelRoomPrices/HotelRoom[@Code='TB']/PriceRanges/PriceRange[1]/Price")[0].getAttribute('Gross');

Please can you help urgently as this is on a production system.

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to say that I’m on Prof Vers 2.6

The issue does not relate dhtmlxAjax. BTW, the following works correctly:

tmproomsuppnightprice = newAvail.doXPath("//RoomCategory[@Id=‘001:ART5’]/HotelRoomPrices/HotelRoom[@Code=‘TB’]/PriceRanges/PriceRange/Price")[0].getAttribute(‘Gross’);

…/PriceRange/… instead of …/PriceRange[1]/…

Alexandra, thanks very much for your response. I am a bit confused about what you say because there is MORE than ONE PriceRange within PriceRanges and therefore I HAVE to use a subscript to define which one I want.

Also the doXPath statement that I currently have works properly with FireFox.

Perhaps I have misunderstood your message.

Please help.

Thanks

Alexandra I should have said that I did try what you had suggested and it does take the first PriceRange if we don’t put in a PriceRange suffix. However I need to iterate over all of them and therefore I need to be able to put in a suffix.

Thanks

Thanks

This problem doesn’t relate dhtmlxAjax. It is more about XPath (please see XPath docs). In case of IE you will probably need to use 0 instead of 1 to select the 1st element

var firstIndex = (_isIE?0:1);
tmproomsuppnightprice = newAvail.doXPath("//RoomCategory[@Id=‘001:ART5’]/HotelRoomPrices/HotelRoom[@Code=‘TB’]/PriceRanges/PriceRange["+firstIndex+"]/Price")[0].getAttribute(‘Gross’);
