Methods

  • evaluate (contextNode, type, result) - provide a context node/document, {{domxref("XPathResult")}} constant, and XPathResult to store the query or null to return a new XPathResult.
  • evaluateWithContext (contextNode, contextPosition, contextSize, type, result) - provide a context node/document, context position, context size, XPathResult constant, and XPathResult to store the query or null to return a new XPathResult.
