6. Form of XPointer: short (bare name)

This tutorial is obsolete. Please, use the new one.

Description

The specification defines one full form and two shorthand forms (which are abbreviations of the full one).



Shorthand XPointer expression - bare names
If your elements have an ID-type attribute, you can address them directly using the value of the ID-type attribute. (Don't forget: you must have an attribute defined as an ID type in your DTD!) The example below selects node with id("b1").
XPointer: b1
XPointer (alternative): xpointer(id("b1"))

 <AAA>
   <BBB myid="b1" bbb="111">
     Text in the first element BBB.</BBB>
   <BBB myid="b2" bbb="222">
      Text in another element BBB.
     <DDD ddd="999">
       Text in more nested element.</DDD>
   </BBB>
   <CCC ccc="123" xxx="321">
     Again some text in some element.</CCC>
 </AAA>
