hi!
i would have an additional question to this:
if my document would look like this:
<root>
<descriptions>
<description>this is an apple</description>
<description>this is an orange</description>
</descriptions>
<group>
<apple>bla</apple>
<orange>bla</orange>
</group>
<group>
<apple>bla</apple>
<orange>bla</orange>
</group>
<order>
<column name="orange" />
<column name="apple" />
</order>
</root>
how could i get the matching description for every column,
when i loop though them via the order described in the order
node?
somehow i cannot think of a way to do that with xpath : /
thanks!
ciao!

i would like to do the following: im going though all the column nodes
and would like to access the group nodes where the column attribute name
and the group node name match up.
basically i can just not think of a way to do that in xpath.. anybody
got an tip? how can i say in xpath that it should get the node with
the name in @name and not just access the name attribute of a group
node..
