Hi, List,

I've got a question about using predicates in xpath ... I know you can select something like

/library/book[title = MobyDick]

but can you do something like

/library/book[title = <xsl:value-of select = "/personal_info/favorite_book" />]

I mean, can you use a value you got from somewhere else in the XML as part of the predicate expression? If not, can anyone suggest another means of achieving a similar result?

Thanks much,
Amanda Birmingham
