Minidom getElementById not working
minidom, python, python-3.x, xml
Solution
If you want to get elements with name="node"
l.getElementsByTagName("node")
If you want to get elements with attribute having an attribute "id" with value "node", use xpath:
import xpath
xpath.find("//*['id=node']",l) #search for all elements with an attribute id="node"
Problem
Minidom's getElementById function is returning None for any entry I pass to it. For example, this code: ``` l = minidom.parseString('<node id="node">Node</node>') print(l.getElementById("node")) ``` Prints "None" on my computer. I must be doing something here wrong but I can't figure it out! I'm running Python 3.3.2 if that helps.
