Sure: any legal expression can be used in a predicate, including XPaths with their own predicates.


Stick around; you'll see it again.

Cheers,

Try:

select="element[*[name()=$child and . = $value]]"

or:

select="*[*[name()=$child and . = $value]]"

if <elements> will only have <element> children.
