Subject:  Retrieving Full XPATH expression
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2001 18:17:23 +0000

Given:

<A>
 <B>
   <C>
     <D id="007">
       <E>val1</E>
     </D>
     <D id="008">
       <E>val2</E>
     </D>
   <C>
 </B>
</A>

How do I get the full Xpath for each node..For example, if the
context node is <E> (with value "val1"), I want to get its full xpath
as A/B/C/D[1]/E[1] and for the second occurrence of <E> (with value "val2"),
I want to get its full xpath as A/B/C/D[2]/E[2].

Thanks a lot for the help.
