selectSingleNode Returns Null

[Troy Zirk]

I have not changed any of the defaults (e.g. - namespaces, code, etc.) in a
new form. i added a dropdown and renamed it "Branch" (case correct). i added
a button which, when clicked, tries to run this code:

var nodes = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Branch");

for some reason this returns null. any ideas?

I tried:
function CTRL2_5::OnClick(eventObj)
{
var nodes =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Branch");
XDocument.UI.Alert(nodes.text);
}
and it worked for me.
Can you try this?

You are setting the SelectionNamespaces to the wrong namespace in
script.js. This line
XDocument.DOM.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",

'xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2004-06-21T20:52:12"');
should have the namespace found in the XSD file
XDocument.DOM.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",

'xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2004-07-13T21:26:23"');

Also, your code doesn't work because branch is an XML node object, not
a string. And in this case it will be better to use substring instead
of substr.

var branchNode =
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Branch");
var branch = branchNode.text;
var branchID = branch.substring(
branch.indexOf("(") + 1,
branch.indexOf(")")
);

Thanks Steve, that did the trick!! It must've been the incorrect namespace.
I suspected that but didn't know how to correct it. I appreciate your
assistance.
