AMSMathSciNet translator is broken

billi · May 19, 2011

When trying to capture the following webpage I got an error

http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/search/publications.html?fmt=bibtex&pg1=MR&s1=71856

Error console contains the following message:

Error: TypeError: doc.evaluate("//div[@id=\"content\"]/div[@class=\"doc\"]/div[@class=\"headline\"]/strong", doc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext() is null
Source File: file:///home/eli/technion/zotero/translators/AMS%20MathSciNet.js
Line: 0

Thank you

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/AMS MathSciNet.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.

Doesn't seem to work - I went to the page and clicked 'save page as', and saved the file as a .js files in the translators folder, restarted both Word and Firefox and still getting the error message .....
