>Can anyone give me a simple, concrete example of the here() function in >XPointer? I don't think I understand the phrase "the node that directly >contains the XPointer being evaluated" in the spec. I found an example in "XPointers, Chapter 17 of the XML Bible, Updated Version" http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible/updates/17.html Just to take a quick extract: <BUTTON xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="here()/preceding::SLIDE[1]"> Previous </BUTTON> I still have some issues with the definition of here() though. There is no guarantee that the XPointer being evaluated is contained within an XML node, for example - shouldn't the spec describe this as an error condition? Matthew Wilson
