Karl,

If the second one works, this suggests that "xml" is a child of RESULT. The first expression looks for it as a sibling.

If xml is a child of RESULT, try

//RESULTS/RESULT[@doc='submitlead_notes_v2' and
                 xml/rs:data/z:row/@submitid=$submitid]

BTW -- A conformant processor shouldn't let you name an element "xml". These three characters in initial position of a name are supposed to be reserved for the W3C to assign, and a tight parser will complain if you use them.

Cheers,
Wendell

Hi, trying something like the following:

This following returns everything (does not work correctly):
"//RESULTS/RESULT[@doc='submitlead_notes_v2' and
../xml/rs:data/z:row/@submitid=$submitid]"

This following works:
//RESULTS/RESULT[@doc='submitlead_notes_v2']/xml/rs:data/z:row[@submitid=$su
bmitid]"

It works, but I end up at the z:row portion of my tree and need to end up at
the RESULT portion of my tree.  So, how can I do that?
