Xpathresult is undefined in IE11

Question

I am using some javascripts. I used

var xpathResults = document.evaluate(xpath, domContext, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);

it is working fine in all the browser except IE11. It is showing error: 'XPathResult is undefined'. And yes I used wgxpath.install.js script before that.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Internet Explorer does not support XPATH.

I'd suggest using CSS selectors instead of XPath if you want it to work with IE11.

If you are dead-set on using XPath, I'd suggest using an XPath javascript library (like http://code.google.com/p/wicked-good-xpath/)

Sorry for the trouble. Support for XPath in IE is currently in development.
