Hi,

I've got the following XPath query working for the following XML:

/Combos/Combo[@level = '5' and @matchlvl1 = 'Jurisdiction' and matchlvl2 
'UK' ... ]

<Combos>
  <Combo level="5" matchlvl1="Jurisdiction" matchlvl2="UK" matchlvl3="Case
Law" matchlvl4="England" matchlvl5="">
	<option>- - Please choose an option - -</option>
	<option>Citations</option>
	<option>Judgement</option>
	<option>Legislation</option>
	<option>General</option>
	<option>Updating</option>
	<option>Courts</option>
  </Combo>
</Combos>

I've changed the format of the XML so the attributes are now elements -
because I feel it's clearer and have heard many opinions that it's the
correct way to do things.

Now the XML is:

<Combos>
  <Combo>
	<level>3</level>
	<matchlvl1>Jurisdiction</matchlvl1>
	<matchlvl2>UK</matchlvl2>
	<matchlvl3></matchlvl3>
	<matchlvl4></matchlvl4>
	<matchlvl5></matchlvl5>
	<option>- - Please choose an option - -</option>
	<option>Case Law</option>
	<option>Legislation</option>
	<option>Miscellaneous</option>
  </Combo>
</Combos>

Problem is I can't find any examples of this sort of searching/Xpath on the
net.  What I want is a nodelist of <Combo> nodes where <level> = x AND
<matchlvl1> = x AND <matchlvl2> = x     etc.

Can anybody help out?

Thanks,
Col
