In my XML-SPY Xpath evaluator it just returns the first "B" node that has a
previous "A".
Ideas?

The following works for me

    file://b[preceding-sibling::*[local-name()= 'a']]

<foo>
<b/>
<a/>

<a/>
<b/>
</foo>

Return all the "b" nodes that are inmediately preceded by an "a" element
(the bold nodes).

It's easy but I'm lost :-(

Thanks,
Garland.
