Greetings!
First of all, sorry for the bitly-shortened links.
I'm not able to use any formatting for some reason.

Anyway, I'm struggling with the following problem:
When using XPath's name(nodeset) function to extract the name of a XML element, nothing is retrieved.
I've done some forum research, but all I found was the following fragments:
- Ashley stating that Construct merely delegates XPath execution to the browser, having no role in the issue I'm describing ( bit.ly/2Op3JVj ).
- Magistross running into the issue in Firefox and IE, but not knowing what was wrong ( bit.ly/2Op9CC5 ).
I decided to test Firefox XPath execution outside of my Construct game using an online tool ( bit.ly/2AWJb4L ) and to my surprise the name() function worked perfectly!

Heres's my xml: drive.google.com/open
My Construct test consisted in printing SpritesXML.StringValue("name(/sprites/*[1])") into a test variable. It's worth mentioning that I successfully loaded the xml into the game using AJAX -> request project file and AJAX -> On complete.
For the online tool I simply loaded the provided xml using the web interface, then typed name(/sprites/*[1]) as the XPath expression.
Does anyone know anything else about this?
Thanks in advance.
