Hello,
I am trying to find a particular element that is anywhere before the current
element like this:
preceding::case-cite
This works if the two elements have the same parent, but I want to match an
element anywhere before the current element. For example, if the context is
the<case-cite-2nd> element, I want to find a<case-cite> element anywhere
in the structure previous to the<case-cite-2nd> element.
preceding::case-cite will do this.
preceding-sibling::case-cite will limit the traversal to siblings of the
context node.
If the preceding:: axis isn't working for you, please show us more code.
Cheers,
Wendell
