The boolean operator for or is or not | (not sure why so many people miss this) [not(name='Frank Lampard' or name=' Damian Deff')] or [(name!='Frank Lampard') and (name!=' Damian Deff')] although beware of using != ever in Xpath unless you are sure you know what you are doing. It has quite entertaining meaning and in the cases where it isn't the same as using not ( = ) it almost always doesn't do what you want, so I find it's better to simply always use not() and = rather than !=. Of the things you tried: [name!='Frank Lampard | Damian Duff'] That is legal and tests that every name element is not equal to teh string 'Frank Lampard | Damian Duff' [name!='Frank Lampard' | name!=' Damian Duff'] that is a syntax error as | is set union and can only be applied to node sets, not to boolean expressions.
