If you want to search relative to the <Person> Element, just leave out the initial "/" (which means start with the document) and do something like: personElement.selectNodes("FirstName") Leaving out the initial slash makes the search relative to the element you invoke selectNodes on. -- Steen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ dom4j-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dom4j-user
