Thanks David, >> What is the best xpath expression to match the <entry> element, without >> using //? > >match="entry" > >(although maybe you meant to ask a different question) :) yeah... Take the following: (this is a simplification of the XML file I posted earlier) <a> <b> <b> <b> <c> <d> <d> <e> </c> <f> <g> <g> <e> </f> </b> </a> What xpath expression will match the first <e>, without using // As a point of interest, what kind of performance hit does using // give? Is it bad practice to use // ? Regarding xpath visualiser, I have used that in the past and it is very useful. However, it doesnt let me find out the xpath of one element, based on the position of another - that would be a worthwhile addition. >It is inevitable that some of us will use this list as a place to moan >(sorry, I mean comment) on the new X*2 drafts, however please don't let >that stop people asking beginner questions. (unless of course the >beginner question involves the-language-known-as-xsl-in-ie5 in which >case, as is well known, the beginner will be flamed and hounded off the >list with no mercy:-) Excellent, the list lives on. many thanks andrew _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
