But I want to go even further: Sort of XPoiter function. For example: <About>My name is &ancestor(1,this,FirstName,*);</About> i.e. XPointer relative to context of current #element. I do not want to hardcode it becouse a user should be free to modify document however he wants. I am working now on an application that needs this kind of functionality. I do not know of any parser that has it, so will have to create an add-on. If you have any advice, would greatly appreciate it. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
