Re: trying to create a node-set of attribute nodes

Hi Robert,

  eg., if i wanted all attribute nodes with name "key", that's
just

  //@key

but what if i want attr nodes where key is specifically equal to
"F"? i'm assuming that requires a predicate, but i've tested several
variations and none work. how do i ask if the string-value is equal
to "F"?

Get the string value of the context node (the attribute) with the
string() function:

  //@key[string(.) = "F"]

or just use . and let the processor do the conversion of the attribute
node to a string implicitly:

  //@key[. = "F"]

Cheers,

Jeni
