Hi,
I am having troubles with making my Firefox extension use xPath on a page loaded via AJAX inside my extension window.
Here https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.evaluate it says that evaluate
can be used with HTML or XML documents to evaluate xPath expression. So, i created a HTMLDocument
object, assigned the AJAX response text through .innerHTML
. All is good so far.
Problem came to me when i tried to evaluate this HTMLDocument object oHTML. I got an error, saying that oHTML.evaluate is not a function. Ok, so i checked how does it work with other pages, and i found out, that evaluation works with XPCNativeWrapper[HTMLDocument] object.
Here https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCNativeWrapper it states that i need to do the following to create a wrapper object.
var contentWinWrapper = new XPCNativeWrapper(content);
I pass oHTML
as content
to this constructor and what you know, i get error
Cannot convert WrappedNative to function" nsresult: "0x8057000d
(NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_CONVERT_WN_TO_FUN)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://ext/content/sample.js :: anonymous :: line 155" data: no
Mozzila developer center mentions nothing about what exactly is this content
object in their example so maybe thats the problem? I have no idea what else to pass there? I thought, by content they mean HTMLDocument object.
Help me understand. Thanks
