I don9t know what I did right, but this code worked for me:
let $base :=
http-get("http://www.macosxhints.com/search.php?query=sherlock&type=stories&;
mode=search")
let $htmlSearch := $base/DATA
let $searchGoods := for $searchItem in
$htmlSearch/img/table/tr/td/table/tr/td/table/tr/td/table/tr[2]/td/br/table/
/a
return dictionary(
("description", $searchItem/b/text()/convert-html(.)),
("doubleClickURL", url-with-base($searchItem/@href,
http-request-value($base, "ACTUAL_URL")))
)
return $searchGoods
And it looks like the same code. All I did was clean up the tabs and white
space at the end of lines.
For what its worth, I find that XQuery is quite flaky, things that work one
minute stop working 10 minutes later, and vice-versa. I think it has to do
with white space and tabs. Then again I just copy-pasted the code in the
original message again, deleted the new lines and space in the wrapped lines
and it worked :)
