   Re: [xml-dev] Quick question regarding XPath

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]


You are misinterpreting my question:

Is it possible to say doc ("test.xml")/a//@b

is the above equivalent to:

doc ("test.xml")/(a/@b | a//*/@b)

thanks, murali.

// is the descendant axis - not the root of the document.

the question tries to see whether attributes and elements are treated
similarly by the // axis
