[removed] use xpath in jQuery

Question

I have, for example, the next XPath query:

//div[span=\"something\"]/parent::div/child::div[@class=\\\"someClass\\\"]

I want to use this XP

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the parent::div clause, but without it it should look like this:

$('div[span="something"] div.someClass');

Answer 2

if you want to select an element inside an iframe, from parent window, you should change second parameter of evaulate() function to iframe's document element, like :

var iFrameDocument = $('iframe#myPage').get(0).contentWindow.document;
xpathResult = this[0].evaluate(xpathExpression, iFrameDocument, null, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE, null);
