Dear members The following are my questions. 1.Will unnecesary variable declaration contribute to any overhead in terms of processing performance etc?? 2.if i have an xml structure like this:

<root>
 <parentelement>
   <childelement1>text in child1</childelement1>
   <childelement>
      <name></name>
   </childelement>
 </parentelement>
</root>

If context node is <name>(i got there through a for loop),then how do i print the text in <childelement1> i understand ancestor would not get me to childelement1.. how do i then reach to main element..

alternatively i thought of a solution of getting there through ancestor::parentelement/childelement1/text()

It works but i am not sure if it is the right way to do it.

any suggestions regarding this ??
many thanks in advance
Bill
