RE: Getting a node's cousin

the parent axis takes you up one generation.
The following-sibling axis then isolates only the cousins after your parent,
or preceding-sibling cousins before your parent,
then use the child axis to get to your cousin.

Does that make sense <grin/>

../child2_of_child2/grandchild may be what you want,
or perhaps a for-each with the node-set produced from
../childn_of_childm?


The pic on page 40 of Ken Holmans notes explains it,
some trial error finds out what the axis do,
now Nic has an example(27) at his page!
