My xml source (typed carefully)
You are clearly having a bad day, as am I, so let's not quibble about the
well-formedness of your xml...
I assume you meant that the structure is like this
<Assembly>
<Station name="Station1">
<WI order="1" title="doc1">
<Boards>
<Board sn="111"/>
<Board sn="112"/>
</Boards>
</WI>
<!-- More WI elements -->
</Station>
<!-- More Station Elements -->
</Assembly>
If you have used 'select = "./WI/Boards/Board"' then each of the nodes
selected is a Board
'..' is the shorthand for referring to the parent node. In this context
'../@order' is asking for the order attribute of the parent of a Board i.e
the order attribute of a Boards element. You should expect 'a blank' in
this case. What you appear to require is the order attribute of the
grandparent of the Board so you should use '../../@order'
Cheers,
Simon
