Like Martin pointed out, your problem is most likely not in the XPath, but in your handling of markups. Don't put XML inside HTML and expect it to work. The HTML parser will apply all 10 years of web compatibility quirks handling on the DOM and so lots of things might happen to it that you don't expect. Have you looked at the DOM using the DOM-Inspector? Does it look like what you think it does? If you want to pass XML along with your HTML then put it inside a comment or inside a javascript variable and then parse it using DOMParser. Don't put it right inside the markup since that's both more wasteful processing-wise (first parsed as HTML and then serialized back to a string), and exposes it to all the quirks of HTML parsing. / Jonas
