Hi!

no idea about overhead by variables...

I can help you with a simpler XPATH for the other one:

../../childelement1/text()

Dear members
The following are my questions.
1.Will unnecesary variable declaration contribute to any overhead 
in terms of processing performance etc??
2.if i have an xml structure like this:

<root>
  <parentelement>
    <childelement1>text in child1</childelement1>
    <childelement>
       <name></name>
    </childelement>
  </parentelement>
</root>

If context node is <name>(i got there through a for loop),then how 
do i print the text in <childelement1>
i understand ancestor would not get me to childelement1..
how do i then reach to main element..

alternatively i thought of a solution of getting there through 
ancestor::parentelement/childelement1/text()

It works but i am not sure if it is the right way to do it.

any suggestions regarding this ??
many thanks in advance
Bill
