Re: [xsl] Re: Re: Re: Sibling in the Pattern(match)

Thanks a lot Dimitre,

But because the member with "acc11" can exist in more
than one places in the source file. That is the reason
I wanted to use the full path to indicate that 
particular member.

However, "Member[@name
='acc1']/Member[@name='acc11']]" seems not okay in the
match. It only recognized the "Member[@name='acc1'],
not the full path.

Here is the example code I modified. So, here there
are two members with "acc11". One is the child of
member with "acc1"; another is the child of member
with "acc3". I only want to process nothing with the
first one, but keep others same. 

Maybe this is the restriction on the "predicates".


Thanks

Dongling
