Bob ChauvinSubject: preceding-sibling syntax help needed
Author: Bob Chauvin

Given this xpath to a repeating element named lu_Group, how would I get it's previous sibling?

/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/tns:Get_ContactFlagsResponse/tns:Get_ContactFlagsResult/NewDataSet/ContactCategory/lu_Group

I've tried this and variations...

/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/tns:Get_ContactFlagsResponse/tns:Get_ContactFlagsResult/NewDataSet/previous-sibling::ContactCategory[1]/lu_Group

but it dunna work!
