I have a textbox, 'txtSearch'. I am using it to search people by Last Name. this is my code.
var xmlTempResultSearch = xmlResidentListDisplay.selectNodes( "//PeopleList/Row[contains(translate(@LastName, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), '" + txtSearch.value + "')]"); This code selects all last names in the XML like the text input in the txtSearch textbox.
This translates all uppercase letters to lowercase letters.
So if I am searching for 'Dorosan', if I type 'doro', it retrieves the correct person because it translated the 'D' to 'd'. But when I type 'Doro', it doesn't retrieve the correct person.
I'm wondering if I can have two conditions in an XPATH, and how? I want to be able to translate all uppercase to lowercase, OR translate all lowercase to uppercase.

The syntax for locating elements through XPath- Multiple Attribute can be written as: //<HTML tag>[@attribute_name1='attribute_value1'][@attribute_name2='attribute_value2]
Using OR & AND This means that any one condition should be true to find the element. In the below XPath expression, it identifies the elements whose single or both conditions are true.
$xml->xpath("(//person)[firstname[contains(., 'Kerr')]]"); then it works fine.
To define an XPath expression that checks if a string element is empty, you must use the operator != . This example shows how to define an XPath expression that evaluates to true when a repeating element, which is referred to as a sequence, is empty. The effective Boolean value of an empty sequence is false.
and and or are allowed inside the condition: [here]. Or you may also use multiple paths in one XPath expression using the pipe sign.
//PeopleList/Row[c1] | //PeopleList/Row[c2]

you can use or / and inside [....]
Example:
//*[contains('abc') or contains('def') or text()='abcdef'] More info about operators: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_operators.asp
