can anyone explain why Mozilla xpath does not appear to handle less and/or
greater than relations?

      xpath="//jobs[F"+dates+">'"+newkey+" '] ";


(the equals relations seems to work fine

        xpath="//jobs[F"+dates+"='"+newkey+" '] ";

do I need to use a code sequence for the < and > symbols ?

PS this works fine with IE
