"/"s can not go inside the brackets. They must always go outside i.e. parents//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'10'].

Hi Dan,

Doh, I forgot to mention that I need a particular branch, and realized
my example isn't very good. I'll try again.

I have the following:

/parent1/childJack/years=10
/parent2/childJill/years=12
/parent3/childJohn/years=35
/parent3/childJohn/childSuzy/years=10

I need the _adults_ that have children or grandchildren that are 10
years old because we are running a special promotion for 10 year olds,
and need to notify the adults of it.

I would like to write this:

  parents[//@years= '10']

but no go.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

I'm trying many different combinations to specify a predicate where
ALL child nodes have some particular value. In other words, I would
like to get all regions that have any children nodes that have a
yearBuilt attribute of 2001.
  ie. documents/regions[//@yearBuilt = '2001']

I tried different combinations of factors but could only make the
predicate apply if I knew what level the child was at:
  ie. documents/regions[*/@yearBuilt = '2001']

but in our case we don't always know the level, hence the need to
apply a predicate using a descendant node. Is this possible? If not,
are there any workarounds?

Thanks,

Mark

I think the correct xpath syntax is: documents/regions//[EMAIL PROTECTED] =
'2001'].
Cheers,
