I learn JS two days, so i dont have many knowledge to resolve my problems and need help. I need to get element by xPath like a 

docHTML.evaluate(elementName, docHTML.body, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue

But problem is that i need use only IE 11. I know, that IE does not supported xPath, but i could find other way, using ActionXObject.

This idea i was find on How do you run an xPath query in IE11? but i cant run this code.

I try

var doc = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM'); 
doc.loadXML(window.XMLDocument); 
var node = doc.selectSingleNode('//div');
alert(node);

but didn't succeed.

Maybe I’m not getting the XML document correctly or there’s no problem?

  • You can try to use the alternatives for xPath. For example, You can select an element by its ID or Selecting elements by the classes applied to them.

This code will worked with a simple pages. On google.com he returned me result ~145.

xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML.DOMDocument");
var docHTML = window.document.documentElement;
var yourString = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(docHTML);
xmlDoc.loadXML(yourString);
var node = xmlDoc.selectNodes('//div');
node.length

But on more dificult sites loadXML to drop down with false value.
