Siggi, I think you're right. I guess what you need is a variable bound to the node represented by the XmlObject that you're executing the selectPath() from. "$this" is supposed to be that. - Wing Yew

Doesn't the left- and the right-hand-side of that filter-expression always refer to the same node, which would mean, that the xpath-engine tries to select any nodes with the two attributes @idRef & @id having the same value? - Siggi - >Siggi, >can you try > > xo.selectPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@id]"); > >and see if that works? >- Wing Yew > >-----Original Message----- >From: Siegfried Baiz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:11 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: selectPath with FilterExpression using $this > >Hello, > >for a given XmlObject xo with an ID-Attribute 'id', >I've tried to launch the following xpath-expression: > > xo.selectPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@id]") > >in order to get all nodes (with idRef-Attribute) refering to my node xo. > >Unfortunatlly this expression seems not to work.
