i want to access to the preceding node N1 from a node N2
and also its following node N3
so i use this instruction:
for N1 : $N2/preceding-sibling::node()
for N3 : $N2/following-sibling::node()
but it's not correct,i don't know why,
You are saying "node" but I think you mean "element" and you will,
therefore, need preceding-sibling::*[1] for the closest element.
my xml file is like:
........
<N1>
<N2>
<N3>
........
Then you are not considering that in the following:
<N1>xxx</N1>
<N2>yyy</N2>
there is a text node between the element node named "N1" and the element
node named "N2".
I hope this helps.
