If you want the id of the nearest po ancestor that is ancestor::po[1]/@id > In other words: I'm looking for the nearest ancestor relative who is not a > parent. And I don't want uncles, either... ;-) but that would be something else, for example on <someelement/> would you want to discount <po id="3">, because it's your parent. anyway the nearest po answer that isn't your parent is the nearest ancestor of your parent, which is ../ancestor::po[1]/@id David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
