select another attribute value
If I have a XML like so
<Book Title="Othello" Author="William Shakespeare" />
How do I select the value of another attribute if I know the value of the 1st?
i.e. /Book[@Title='Othello'] but I want the value of Author
any ideas?
Thanks

Non book-specific queries are better posted to the general XML forum. In your case the XPath is:
Code:
/Book[@Title='Othello']/@Author
It's the same as : but with the: predicate.
