Hi Duane,
Just thought I'd offer some advice that is similar to what Michael Kay
already mentioned but thought I might elaborate a bit on.
Given
<root>
<apple/>
<pear/>
<orange/>
</root>
Given an xpath to orange (/root/orange) I want to reference the
previous element which is a peer.
The peer is a pear, very true ;). Back to the advice:
I tried the following with no
success:
/root/preceding::orange
I think the key information the OP was missing is that this means
"a preceding element *called* orange" NOT "an element preceding
the one called orange". preceding-sibling::pear is what is needed.
Peel me a sibling.
