B is the ancestor of X, not its predecessor. This paragraph from XPath 1.0 may help: > NOTE: The ancestor, descendant, following, preceding and self axes > partition a document (ignoring attribute and namespace nodes): they > do not overlap and together they contain all the nodes in the > document. Others have already pointed out the usefulness of * over node() in your examples, and the possible utility of the preceding-sibling axis. I recommend re-reading <URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#axes >, or the more precise but harder to read <URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#axes >. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > bFor a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.b b R.P.
