Ah, I think I understand. No reply necessary.

How to Return Ancestor Nodes Children in other words siblings?
//tree_node[@id=9]/ancestor::tree_node)/child::*

Which would return itself!

How to return children?
//tree_node[@id=9]/child::*

Sorry for any confusion.

Mukul,

If you just want children wouldn't you just use?

//tree_node[@id=9]/child::*

It seems to me that

//tree_node[@id=9]/ancestor::tree_node)/child::*

would find all the siblings of tree_node[@id=9] not its children.

Note: I have not tested my suggestion either.

Please try -
(//tree_node[@id=9]/ancestor::tree_node)/child::*

(not tested!)
