Re: Re: generate full xpath name to an attribute?

Do have a look here:

http://www.topxml.com/code/default.asp?p=3&id=v20010323001030

This code generates a Xpath expression that uniquely selects any (type of)
node -- even for a namespace node.

Of course, Mike is right that if element names belong to a non-null
namespace, the environment to evaluate the expression must have exactly the
same namespaces defined...
