Hi Willaim
forgive me for my newbie question.. i was not very much successful in writing the xpath expression to get to the childelement1. could you please help me getting the expression. i tries weird expressions like preceding-sibling[parent::childelement].. I know i am wrong at the expression.. but my idea was to get the preceding sibling of the parent of childelement any suggestions in this regard is appreciated
<xsl:value-of select="parent::childelement/preceding-sibling::childelement1/text()"/>
or as Markus suggested.. <xsl:value-of select="../../childelement1/text()"/>

Hello Cutlass
when node context is <name/>
use parent:: to get to childelement and/or combine with preceding:: in your select statement to get to childelement1

well, if they are unneccesary u dont need to use them ? any use of them will cause an overhead, no matter how slight.

when node context is <name/>
use parent:: to get to childelement and/or combine with preceding:: in your select statement to get to childelement1

if u only need to go up to the parent, then this statement will take up more processing time which increases with the overall size of your xml doc.
