[Laszlo-user] xpath parser for javascript

[André Bargull]

Short update from me:
Right now I'm converting xpathjs ("http://mcc.id.au/xpathjs"), so it'll 
become OpenLaszlo-compatible.
At the moment, XPaths like this one are already working:
> (/test[@data=20]|/test[starts-with(text(), "Hello")])/text()
So stay tuned!
