Default selectionLanguage in xml4.0 is xpath. So you need not to set
yourself. Try,
<html>
<body>
<xml id='island'>
<messages>
<message mid='1'>
</message>
<message mid='2'>
</message>
</messages>
</xml>
<script language=vbscript>
sub window_onload
msgbox island.selectnodes("//message[@mid='1']").length
end sub
</script>
</bode>
</html>
Either can you load it like "xml40.load island". The result should be same.
