For example in javascript using getelementbyid:
document.getElementById("theID").style.width="100%";
can i change the css from the node retrieved by xpath like with getelementbyid?

1With XPath you can query XML, not change it.Kirill Polishchuk– Kirill Polishchuk2013-01-25 01:23:37 +00:00Commented Jan 25, 2013 at 1:23

There is no "XPath" here. Please consider posting a real example/intended usage. Also, it doesn't matter how an Element is found in the DOM (gEBI, CSS selectors, XPath): DOM Elements can be mutated, as what is done in the posted code.user166390– user1663902013-01-25 02:23:57 +00:00Commented Jan 25, 2013 at 2:23

Yes, i did it like this:
var xpath = 'your xpath';
var matchingElement = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
matchingElement.style.color = "blue";

xpath= $x('//body'); // this will return an array usually containing 1 element
xpath[0].classList.value=""; // edit class name
xpath[0].style.display="none"; // edit style attributes
