Re: Selecting all ancestors

2002-10-16 00:35:19
Hi Juan,

I'm trying to select the ancestors for the specific
catid using the SelectSingleNode method.

As you might be able to guess from the name, selectSingleNode()
selects a single node -- you can't get *all* the ancestors that way.
Instead, you need to use selectNodes(), which will return a NodeList.

I have tried ancestor::cat specifiying the value of
the attribute but it only returns one node depending
on how many cat's level I include in my XPath.
This tree is dynamic and it can have multiple levels

It would really help us to help you if you posted the code that you're
trying to use. Presumably you've tried something like:

  cat = doc.selectSingleNode("//cat[(_at_)id = '" + catid + "']");
  ancestors = cat.selectNodes("ancestor::cat");

?

Cheers,

Jeni
