Error Processing XML Content with the JavaScript API

RhinoScript supports ECMAscript for XML (E4X). I created a document under Company Home using DM Forms (XForms and an XML Schema definition for ProductApplication). In the JavaScript file for my Web Script I am trying to select Documents under Company Home that are of type text/xml and have an elem

Here's why!

Exerpt from the Mozilla Developer Center (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/E4X)

E4X doesn't support parsing XML declaration ( <?xml version=…?>) (see bug 336551 ). You may get SyntaxError "xml is a reserved identifier" (despite the XML being in a string).

Workaround:
var response = xmlhttprequest.responseText; // bug 270553
response = response.replace(/^<\?xml\s+version\s*=\s*(["'])[^\1]+\1[^?]*\?>/, ""); // bug 336551
var e4x = new XML(response);
‍‍‍‍

Alfresco Workaround:

var content = new XML(node.content.replaceAll("(?s)<\\?xml .*?\\?>\\s*", "")); // Workaround: Mozilla Bug 336551‍

Edit 11/2/2008 10:14PM: Be careful that you don't include any whitespace/newline characters before the first XML element in the node.content, otherwise new XML("\r\n<test>Test Successful</test>") will create a blank XML text node, which can be very confusing, but it's part of the E4X specification.

HI

I've used this to remove XML first line.
var content = new XML(node.content.replaceAll("(?s)<\\?xml .*?\\?>\\s*", ""));
It works fine.

Now I need to remove the xmlns form my tag.

I found some clues on forums but nothing works for me.
Any help with this please?
