&gt; Having the following XML:
&gt; 
&gt;     &lt;node&gt;Text1&lt;subnode/&gt;text2&lt;/node&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; How do I select either the first or
&gt; the second text node via XPath?

**Use**:

    /node/text()

This selects all text-node children of the top element (named &quot;node&quot;) of the XML document.

    /node/text()[1]

This selects the first text-node child of the top element (named &quot;node&quot;) of the XML document.
    
    /node/text()[2]

This selects the second text-node child of the top element (named &quot;node&quot;) of the XML document.

    /node/text()[someInteger]

This selects the someInteger-th text-node child of the top element (named &quot;node&quot;) of the XML document. It is equivalent to the following XPath expression:

    /node/text()[position() = someInteger]








your xpath should work . i have tested your xpath and mine in both MarkLogic and Zorba Xquery/ Xpath implementation.

Both should work. 

    /node/child::text()[1] - should return Text1
    /node/child::text()[2] - should return text2


    /node/text()[1] - should return Text1
    /node/text()[2] - should return text2

What is the difference between them? I know that 

&gt; A LinkedHashSet is an ordered version of HashSet that
maintains a doubly-linked List across all elements. Use this class instead of HashSet
when you care about the iteration order. When you iterate through a HashSet the
order is unpredictable, while a LinkedHashSet lets you iterate through the elements
in the order in which they were inserted. 

But in sourcecode of LinkedHashSet there are only calling constructors of HashSet. So where is double-linked List and insertion order?

I have 1 form in with multiple checkboxes in it (each with the code):

    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;check_list&quot; value=&quot;&lt;? echo $row[&#39;Report ID&#39;] ?&gt;&quot;&gt;

Where `$row[&#39;Report ID&#39;]` is a primary key in a database -so each value is different.

How would I be able to tell which checkboxes have been checked? (Maybe multiple)

This is for an inbox system and I have a button below that I want (when clicked) to delete all messages (ids of: `$row[&#39;Report ID&#39;]`) which have the checkbox&#39;s checked.

Having the following XML:

    &lt;node&gt;Text1&lt;subnode/&gt;text2&lt;/node&gt;

How do I select either the first or the second text node via XPath?

Something like this:

    /node/text()[2]

of course doesn&#39;t work because it&#39;s the merged result of every text inside the node.

I am getting XML from a web service.  Here is what the XML looks like:

    &lt;parent&gt;
        &lt;child&gt;
            Text
        &lt;/child&gt;
    &lt;/parent&gt;
    &lt;parent&gt;
        &lt;child&gt;
            &lt;grandchild&gt;
                Text
            &lt;/grandchild&gt;
            &lt;grandchild&gt;
                Text
            &lt;/grandchild&gt;
        &lt;/child&gt;
        &lt;child&gt;
            Text
        &lt;/child&gt;
    &lt;/parent&gt;
    
    etc.

And here is my C# code:

    StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
    
    // Create an XmlReader
    using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xoResponse.@return)))
    {
        XmlWriterSettings ws = new XmlWriterSettings();
        //ws.Indent = true;
        using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, ws))
        {
            // Parse the file and display each of the nodes.
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                switch (reader.NodeType)
                {
                    case XmlNodeType.Element:
                        writer.WriteStartElement(reader.Name);
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.Text:
                        writer.WriteString(reader.Value);
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration:
                    case XmlNodeType.ProcessingInstruction:
                        writer.WriteProcessingInstruction(reader.Name, reader.Value);
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.Comment:
                        writer.WriteComment(reader.Value);
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.EndElement:
                        writer.WriteFullEndElement();
                        break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

I believe that the error is thrown on the second parent element.  How can I avoid this error?  Any help is greatly appreciated.![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rqIAW.jpg)

XML Error: There are multiple root elements

I&#39;m searching the java library for parsing XML (complex configuration and data files), I googled a bit but couldn&#39;t found other than dom4j (Seems like they are working on V2).. I have taken look at commons configuration but didn&#39;t like it, Other apache projects on XML seems under hibernation. I haven&#39;t evaluated dom4j by myself but just wanted to know - Does java has other (Good) open source xml parsing libraries? and how&#39;s your experience with dom4j?

After the @Voo&#39;s answer let me ask another one - Should I use java&#39;s built-in classes or any third-party library like dom4j.. What are the advantages?

I have this code:

    XElement EcnAdminConf = new XElement(&quot;Type&quot;,
        new XElement(&quot;Connections&quot;,
        new XElement(&quot;Conn&quot;),
        // Conn.SetAttributeValue(&quot;Server&quot;, comboBox1.Text);
        // Conn.SetAttributeValue(&quot;DataBase&quot;, comboBox2.Text))),
        new XElement(&quot;UDLFiles&quot;)));
        // Conn.

How do I add attributes to `Conn`? I want to add the attributes I marked as comments, but if I try to set the attributes on `Conn` after defining `EcnAdminConf`, they are not visible.

I want to set them somehow so the XML looks like this:

    &lt;Type&gt;

      &lt;/Connections&gt;
      &lt;UDLFiles /&gt; 
    &lt;/Type&gt;

I&#39;m trying to use RestSharp to consume a web service. So far everything&#39;s gone very well (cheers to John Sheehan and all contributors!) but I&#39;ve run into a snag. Say I want to insert XML into the body of my RestRequest in its already serialized form (i.e., as a string). Is there an easy way to do this? It appears the .AddBody() function conducts serialization behinds the scenes, so my string is being turned into `&lt;String /&gt;`.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: A sample of my current code was requested. See below --

                                string body = null) where T : new()
    {
        RestClient client = new RestClient(this.BaseURL);
        RestRequest req = new RestRequest(resource, httpMethod);

        // Add all parameters (and body, if applicable) to the request
        req.AddParameter(&quot;api_key&quot;, this.APIKey);
        if (parameters != null)
        {
            foreach (Parameter p in parameters) req.AddParameter(p);

XPath to get all child nodes (elements, comments, and text) without parent

I have the following XML:

    &lt;List xmlns=&quot;http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/&quot;&gt;
     &lt;Fields&gt;
       &lt;Field&gt;
       &lt;/Field&gt;
     &lt;/Fields&gt;
    &lt;/List&gt;

This is a slimmed down version of XML being returned from a SharePoint web service. I also have the following xPath:

    /List/Fields/Field

When I remove the `xmlns` from my XML the xPath works fine.  When it&#39;s in there my xPath finds nothing.  Is there something I should be doing differently with my xPath?  Modifying the XML is not an option.

How can I do with XPath:

p.s. I saw a lot of or examples but mainly with attributes or single node structure.

How to select all elements with a specific attribute? with TinyXPath

Currently I&#39;m getting the selected text in the browser doing this:

    window.getSelection();

Now I need to show a tooltip above that text when pressing a custom key(note that the mouse could not be over the text anymore), so in order to do that I need the absolute position of that selected text.

Is there a way to do that, maybe wrapping that text inside a tag and then getting the offsets? It just has to work in Chrome, not all browsers.


Getting selected text position

I&#39;m trying to select the first item in a ListView programmatically, but it doesn&#39;t appear to have been selected. I am using the following code:

    if (listView1.Items.Count &gt; 0)
        listView1.Items[0].Selected = true;

Actually I&#39;ve had this problem before but I can&#39;t remember how I managed to solve it!

How can I make it so when you click inside a textarea, its entire content gets selected?

And eventually when you click again, to deselect it.

jQuery - select all text from a textarea

In JavaScript, it&#39;s possible to programmatically select text in an `input` or `textarea` element. You can focus an input with `ipt.focus()`, and then select its contents with [`ipt.select()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Input.select). You can even select a specific range with [`ipt.setSelectionRange(from,to)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Input.setSelectionRange).

My question is: is there any way to do this in a `contenteditable` element too? 

I found that I can do `elem.focus()`, to put the caret in a `contenteditable` element, but subsequently running `elem.select()` doesn&#39;t work (and nor does `setSelectionRange`). I can&#39;t find anything on the web about it, but maybe I&#39;m searching for the wrong thing...

By the way, if it makes any difference, I only need it to work in Google Chrome, as this is for a Chrome extension.

Programmatically select text in a contenteditable HTML element?

I want to wrap a selected text in a div container with span, is it possible?
