[Lazarus] How to use GetElementById?

[Benito van der Zander]

Hi,
i believe the DOM access methods are the most annoying thing ever, you 
can't just define
a interface for all languages and expect it to be nice.

Doesn't the LCL contains an XPath-parser?
Then you could just use:
html//div[@id="currency_converter_result"]/text()

If not, you can use my parser from
