Hi List,
I am at a particular element node and now I need a generic XPath to get me
the closest Attribute (attributes can be 'name', 'type', 'category' and
sorts ...), if any, and return its value. This would be useful to identify
my elements uniquely.
I am stuck at how to get (?)
//<someElement>/ancestor::*[@(?)][1]/@(?)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sanjay
