I'm having some trouble using the preceding axis in XPath and would
be much obliged if someone could steer me in the right direction. I
have the following document:
<root> <item order="3"> <label>Title</label> </item> <item order="4"> <label>subTitle</label> </item> </root> I have the following XPath to select the second item, based on the value of its label child: //item[label = 'subTitle'] Now I want to modify this so that I refer to the preceding item element, the first one in the list. I tried the following without success (it returns the second item element): //preceding::item[label = 'subTitle'] Suggestions are most welcome on this. Duane
