dojo.query does not work properly on FF (and likely others) when using rooted queries

[dwinkler]

When processing XML documents, chrome is able to execute rooted queries, while FF and probably others do not provide results.

The example:

var entries = dojo.query("data > list > entry", someXml);
dojo.forEach(entries, function(entry) {
  var sth = dojo.query("field[name='something'] > value", entry);
  var ste = dojo.query("field[name='somethingelse'] > value", entry);
});

works on Chrome but gives empty results on FF, although it works for both platforms when skipping the

> value

part of the query. When replacing dojo.query with jquery everything works as expected also on FF:

var sth = $(entry).find("field[name='something'] > value")

Might already be fixed in 1.8 but not sure. Can you attach a test case using the "attach file" button?

Thx for the fast reply, I attached an example that works on Chrome but won't work on FF.

OK, I confirmed that your example doesn't work on Dojo 1.7.2 FF, but it does work on Dojo 1.8 FF.

great, thanks!
