Re: Getting the full Path of a node javascript

fixed the code. the corrent one is selectNodes not SelectNodes.

the right code is

function AddComment_onclick() {

//here get the conext

// More than one item may be selected in the form, such as multiple table rows...

// Just get the first item (zero-based).

var oFocusNode = goXDocument.View.GetContextNodes().Item(0);

// Build the XPath to the focus field.

// This will be used to identify a matching XPath in the Help DOM.

var sXPath = "";var oPathNode = oFocusNode

sXPath = GetXPath_SequentialIteration(oPathNode);

var comment = document.getElementById('NewComment');

window.external.Window.XDocument.Extension.AddComment(sXPath, comment.value);

document.getElementById('NewComment').value = "";

goPrevFocusNode = null;

}

function GetXPath_SequentialIteration(node)

{

try

{

var path;path = "/" + node.tagName;

pNode = node.parentNode;

if (pNode != null) {

// Gets the position within the parent element.

// However, this position is irrelevant if the element is unique under its parent:

goXDocument.DOM.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces", 'xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2012-11-23T23:50:49"');

var siblings = pNode.selectNodes(node.tagName);

if (siblings != null && siblings.length > 1) // There's more than 1 element with the same name

{

var position = 1;

for (i = 0; i < siblings.length; i++) {

if (siblings[i] == node) {break;

}

position++;

}

path = path + "[" + position + "]";

}

// Climbing up to the parent elements:

if (pNode.parentNode != null) {

path = GetXPath_SequentialIteration(pNode) + path;

}

catch (e) {

// Currently we don't handle any exceptions.

// But we also don't want an error to appear if there is one.

alert(e);

}

return path;

}

I have been trying to get the full path to a node. the selectnodes is always giving undefined. Am I doing anything wrong? or is thee another way to get full xpath for a node using GetContextNodes(). Please help! Urgent.

function AddComment_onclick() {

    //here get the conext
    // More than one item may be selected in the form, such as multiple table rows...
    // Just get the first item (zero-based).
    var oFocusNode = goXDocument.View.GetContextNodes().Item(0);

    // Build the XPath to the focus field.
    // This will be used to identify a matching XPath in the Help DOM.
    var sXPath = "";
    var oPathNode = oFocusNode

    sXPath = GetXPath_SequentialIteration(oPathNode);
    alert(sXPath);
}

function GetXPath_SequentialIteration(node)
{
    try
    {
        var path;
        path = "/" + node.baseName;
        alert(path);
        pNode = node.parentNode;
        if (pNode != null) {
            // Gets the position within the parent element.
            // However, this position is irrelevant if the element is unique under its parent:
            var siblings = pNode.SelectNodes(node.baseName);
            alert("Siblings " + siblings.length);
            if (siblings != null && siblings.length > 1) // There's more than 1 element with the same name
            {
                var position = 1;
                for (i = 0; i < siblings.length; i++)
                {
                    if (i == node)
                    {
                        break;
                    }

position++;
}

path = path + "[" + position + "]";
}

            // Climbing up to the parent elements:
            path = pNode.GetXPath_SequentialIteration() + path;
        }
    }
    catch (e) {
        // Currently we don't handle any exceptions.
        // But we also don't want an error to appear if there is one.
        alert(e.Description);
    }
