Getting DOM NodeList by TagName under specific point in DOM Tree?

Hi,

Is there an easy way (or already API call) that one can use to get a DOM NodeList returned based on searching on TagName, BUT only nodes under a specific point in the DOM tree?

That is, effectively I want to do a "document.getElementsByTagName(_string)", but be able to specific the starting node (ie not from the root).

Thanks in advance

Greg

You can use the xpath api:

import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;

import org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI;

/* Use any parser you want here */

DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();

parser.parse(inputFile);

doc = parser.getDocument();

/* Lookup using Xpath */

String xpath = "//TagToSearchFor";

NodeIterator nl = XPathAPI.selectNodeIterator(doc, xpath);

etc...
