<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

</bookstore>
Now look at following html file:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
set xmlDoc=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load("books.xml")
set nodes=xmlDoc.selectNodes("/bookstore/book/publication[month=3]/month | /bookstore/book/author")
for each x in nodes
document.write("<xmp>")
document.write(x.xml)
document.write("</xmp>")
next
</script>
</body>
<!-- | /bookstore/book/publication[month=3]/month
/bookstore/book/author
set nodes=xmlDoc.selectNodes("/bookstore/book/publication[month=3]/month | /bookstore/book/author")
-->
</html>
Now question:
Write XPath for finding "Author" given that "month" is "3"
XPath
