[Webtest] Yet another XPath Query...

[Colin O'Brien]

Hi Marc,

I have upgraded to 1.7_R1010 but webtest still does not resolve the XPath as
expected... should I pass this on to the gang at jaxen.org...?

Cheers,
Colin.

Hi Colin,

I would recommend first to upgrade to the latest build. The problem you
have comes probably from Jaxen and I think that we've upgraded the
version used since build 813.
