Lisa,
Thank you very much. If you don't mind, I've run into another issue today with referencing the preceding element. Here is an example:
Given an xpath to orange (/root/orange) I want to reference the previous element which is a peer. I tried the following with no success:
/root/preceding::orange
I'm sure this is dreadfully simple, but I'm drawing a blank and I'm not seeing the answer in the tutorials I'm reading.

If you want to select the preceding <item> element of the <item> element
whose child <label> element satisfies the predicate [label =
'subTitle'], you might try the following XPath expression,
//item[label = 'subTitle']/preceding::item

I'm having some trouble using the preceding axis in XPath and would be much obliged if someone could steer me in the right direction. I have the following document:
<root> <item order="3"> <label>Title</label> </item> <item order="4"> <label>subTitle</label> </item> </root>
I have the following XPath to select the second item, based on the value of its label child:
//item[label = 'subTitle']
Now I want to modify this so that I refer to the preceding item element, the first one in the list. I tried the following without success (it returns the second item element):
//preceding::item[label = 'subTitle']
Suggestions are most welcome on this.
Duane
