I am tryin to write a class that selects the dom elemented, by using XPath. So far, this is my code.
Problem is, node.id, makes the javascript fail.


What am I doing wrong? :/

var evaluator = new XPathEvaluator();

var result = evaluator.evaluate("//div", document.documentElement, null,
                             XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE, null);                 

if (result) {
    alert(result)
    var node = result.iterateNext();
    while(node) {
            alert(node.id);
        node = node.iterateNext();
    }
}

result.iterateNext, not node.iterateNext. Type in $x into Chrome/Safari Javascript Console for a full example.
