Hi Wendell, >> > ancestor::*/@attr [snip] >> >>I don't think so. The first in this case is the first in document order, >>which isn't the nearest in the ancestor axis. > > Hm. About this, see XPath 2.4. ancestor is a reverse axis. I don't see > anything here that changes the order to document order. You're absolutely right that the ancestor axis is a reverse axis. If you were using: ancestor::*[1]/@attr you'd be fine (aside from the fact that you'd be stuffed if the node's parent didn't have a 'attr' attribute). However, the last axis used in the XPath is the 'attribute' axis, which takes you back to document order again. To get the last one, use: ancestor::*/@attr[last()] At least I *think* that's right ;) Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
