A PSubject: Relative path
Author: A P
Date: 08 Oct 2005 02:39 AM
Dear Sir/madam,

I tried to run this XQuery:

author/parent::node()

for books.xml example, but I got some error saying: “The context item for axis step child::element(author) is undefined”.
Could you please help me with this and tell me how do I select parent nodes in XQuery using relative path?


Thank you

<!-- context node is root -->
<td width="33%">{data($x/@bookid)} ({data(books/@name)})</td>
<!-- parent of $x can be obtained using .. -->
<td width="33%">{data($x/title)} ({data($x/../@name)})</td>
