>> 1) Please read the XPath data model again. The document element (color in your example below) has a parent. >> It's just not an element. > "Every node other than the root node has exactly one parent" ... Ivan, you are mixing-up "document element" and "root node". See the following in the XPath spec (emphasis mine): "The root node is the root of the tree. A root node does not occur except as the root of the tree. *The element node for the document element is a child of the root node*. The root node also has as children processing instruction and comment nodes for processing instructions and comments that occur in the prolog and after the end of the document element." The root node of a document is not an *element* node, it is a *document* node, which itself has an element child, called the document element. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/
