>         Environment: Windows XP, Firefox 3.0.11, XPath Checker 0.4.1, Tomcat 6.0.18, JDK 1.6.14, Mojarra JSF Implementation 1.2_12-b01-FCS

> We are using Richfaces in our application and test its UI with Selenium. Many test assertions are performed with XPath. 
> The problem is that we have to use different XPath expressions for the "same" elements before and after the Ajax-request, because the elements reloaded by the Ajax-request apper in an "x" namespace. Before the request they could be only found without specifiing any namespace.
> The issue can be observed on the Richfaces Live Demo. Go to the Data Iteration / Data Grid Demo.
> I am using XPath Checker Firefox plugin to get the XPath of an element.
> The XPath to the price value of the first car on the first page: id('j_id355:j_id356:0:j_id357_body')/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]
> Then I go to the next page and gets the XPath to the price value of the first car on that page: id('j_id355:j_id356:9:j_id357_body')/x:table/x:tbody/x:tr[1]/x:td[2]
> You can see that table and its child elements are now in the "x" namespace. 
> Could you explain that behavior? Can it be altered in some way?
> It would make tests using XPath more robust if the elements created by AJAX-request could be found without x: prefix.
