I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced the same problems.
If I do an :

 Element result = (Element) XPath.selectSingleNode(el, "some
path");

I get result=null. However, if I do:

 Document doc = new Document ((Element) el.clone(), new
DocType("xml"));
 Element result = (Element) XPath.selectSingleNode(doc, "some
path");

I get the right answer for result.

Why is it that Xpath doesn't work on the element but does on the
document?

Thanks - I am stumped and see this behaviour quite often.
