A little problem I thought I'd share very quickly today. I was modifying an XML file in ColdFusion, adding attributes to some nodes, then later on XMLSearch()ing for nodes with these new attributes. Well, long story short, node.xmlAttributes.code="abc" will output <node CODE="abc"> And, you guessed it, XPath is always case sensitive.
The solution is to either fix your XPath queries (umm, sucks?), or write your xml attributes like so: node.xmlAttributes["code"]="abc"
Nathan is a software developer at The Boeing Company in Charleston, SC. He is essentially a big programming nerd. Really, you could say that makes him a nerd among nerds. Aside from making software for the web, he plays with tech toys and likes to think about programming's big picture while speaking at conferences and generally impressing people with massive nerdiness and straight-faced sarcastic humor. Nathan got his programming start writing batch files in DOS. It should go without saying, but these thought and opinions have nothing to do with Boeing in any way.
