Thanks David,

:) yeah...
Take the following: (this is a simplification of the XML file I posted
earlier)
<a>
<b>
<b>
<b>
<c>
<d>
<d>
<e>
</c>
<f>
<g>
<g>
<e>
</f>
</b>
</a>
What xpath expression will match the first <e>, without using //
As a point of interest, what kind of performance hit does using // give? Is
it bad practice to use // ?
Regarding xpath visualiser, I have used that in the past and it is very
useful. However, it doesnt let me find out the xpath of one element, based
on the position of another - that would be a worthwhile addition.

Excellent, the list lives on.
many thanks
