I want to know what Xpath is (in brief), which browsers support it and how to use it. I tried using document.evaluate() but it returns a DOM error. Are there specific doc types which can use it. A little get me started info would be nice.

Xpath is a query syntax for XML-like documents. If you are familiar with SQL, it performs a similar function.
As for browser support, I don’t know of a way to test. Google Chrome’s web inspector lets you test Xpath expressions using $x().
