Thanks David,

:) yeah...

Take the following: (this is a simplification of the XML file I posted
earlier)

<a>
  <b>
  <b>
  <b>
    <c>
      <d>
      <d>
        <e>
    </c>
    <f>
      <g>
      <g>
        <e>
    </f>
  </b>
</a>

What xpath expression will match the first <e>, without using //

As a point of interest, what kind of performance hit does using // give?  Is
it bad practice to use // ?


Regarding xpath visualiser, I have used that in the past and it is very
useful.  However, it doesnt let me find out the xpath of one element, based
on the position of another - that would be a worthwhile addition.

Excellent, the list lives on.

many thanks
