How to use document.evaluate() and XPath to get a list of elements?

Question

I\'m using the document.evaluate() JavaScript method to get an element pointed to by an XPath expression:

var element = document.evaluate(
  pat         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

function getListOfElementsByXPath(xpath) {
    var result = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
    return result;
}

Then call it:

var results = getListOfElementsByXPath("//YOUR_XPATH");
while (node = results.iterateNext()) {
     console.log(node);
}
