Hi, > Would that be > > ancestor-or-self::*[ObjectType][1]/@id No, that you get you an ancestor node (or the current node) that has a childnode with the element name ObjectType. > What purpose does the [1] serve? What ancester-or-self::*[@id] does, is to select the superset of all ancestors and current node, which have an attribute called id. The [1] here, then, selects the first of these nodes in reverse document order - as that is the order of ancestor-or-self (buttom-up)). The last /@id selects the attribute id of that node. What you would want was probably something like ancestor-or-self::*[@id][self::ObjectType][1]/@id I think you can write: ancestor-or-self::ObjectType[@id][1]/@id But this is not tested (I haven't had to do this before, and my reference book is not nearby). Hope this helps Regards, Ragulf Pickaxe :-)
