selectNodes

public List selectNodes(Object node)

Select all nodes that are selectable by this XPath expression. If multiple nodes match, multiple nodes will be returned.

NOTE: In most cases, nodes will be returned in document-order, as defined by the XML Canonicalization specification. The exception occurs when using XPath expressions involving the union operator (denoted with the pipe '|' character).

NOTE: Param node must be a DOM node which will be used during the xpath execution and iteration through the results. A call of node.dispose() must be done after reading all results.

Parameters:

node - The node, nodeset or Context object for evaluation. This value can be null.

Returns:

The List of all items selected by this XPath expression.
