Re: xpath query

Hi,
Thanks. And as per xml standards i can't have a tag as <1>.
So, if I have that as attribute, can i use xpath to specifically
select that node.

ie., with the foll. xml,
<root>
<level1>
    <a id="1">......</a>
    <a id="2">......</a>
</level1>
</root>

Is the following correct, /root/level1/*[@id='1']/* to select all
children of <a id="1">

Thanks
