Hi...

playing around with xpath and the html dom...

i've got a sample:

html

body

form action='foo' name='cat'....

/form

/body

/html



i can create a test xpath:
 //form/[action
and get the form stuff...

i'm curious, is there a way to select an attribute, only if another
attribute in the element is set to a given value??

something like
 //form/[@action='foo'][@name]
 which would try to return name, if the action==foo....

didn't see this in any of the docs that i reviewed.. nor could i get it to
work when i was playing around with xpather on firefox..

thoughts/comments/pointers...

thanks
