Hello Laxma,
Ok now I've got my coffee I can see what you want.
Try this:
<xupdate:modifications version="1.0"
xmlns:xupdate="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate";>
<xupdate:update select="//students/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'781111']/@sid"
>781164</xupdate:update>
</xupdate:modifications>
The xpath //students/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'781111'] will give you the whole element
student als the xpath //students/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'781111'[EMAIL PROTECTED]
will give only
the
attribute sid
