 Re: Finding the position of an element wrt to other  e
Hi there,

with 342, it means the position of that b element which have child c
and relative to first b element (whether it has child c or not); as
specified my xpath

="//b[c][not(@name=preceding::b[child::c]/@name)]/@name

With the above xpath in my sample xml three b element will be select,
namely, b[@name='3'], b[@name='4'] and b[@name='2'], now the position
of these above selected b elements relative to first 'b' element
(b[@name='1']) will be 3 and 4 for the b's which are child of first
<a> and 2 for the b in second <a>.

Hope this give u a clear picture of the desired output.... your kind
responce is awaited....thanks.....
