lakshya agrawalSubject: first ancestor of a type
Author: lakshya agrawal

Hi all,

Can someone help me with the XPATH to access attributes of the first foo ancestor of baz2. In this case, I am trying to get XPATH from within baz2 to foo2's attr.

<foo1 attr="...">
<foo2 attr="...">
<bar>
<baz1>
<baz2>
...
</baz2>
</baz1>
</bar>
</foo2>
</foo1>

Note, baz2 can be nested much deeper inside foo2.
Any help will be appreciated.

Assuming that the context is baz2, ancestor::foo2[1] matches the first foo2 in the ancestor tree.
