XPath that does not include other XPath

Hi all. I have a rather odd question:
I need to construct an XPath, where one of the conditions is not() on
other XPath. SOmething like this:
//img[not(//img[@alt])] - image that is not image with alt attribute.
Of course, in this case I could just say //img[not(@alt)], but my
XPaths are
generated automatically, so I have to have it in the form of
XPath1[not(XPath2)].
//*[not(self::*=//img)], for example, will choose all the nodes that
are not img nodes.
But if I try for the above case to say :
//img[not(self::*=//img[@alt])]
it doesn't work. So is there a way to do such a thing?

Thank you very much for help.

Anna

I am building various framework components for my team to use in development, and one of those components is a Facade for reading/writing user preferences. The idea is that preference settings are stored in a free-format XML document (in memory for the life of the session) and persisted to a database (as free text) on exit. I have taught my developers the basics of XPath, however I don't want to have to review XMLDOM code all over the...

I refined my attempt a little further, and the following code does seem to work, however it has 2 major problems: 1. Very limited support for XPath features Basic paths are supported for elements, attributes, ".", and "..", plus also the "" predicate format is supported - however, only one predicate per path step is supported, and expr must be a relative path. 2. Poor performance

Helo all -- I'm trying to gain a deeper understand for what type of semi-declarative programming can be done through XML and XPath/XSLT. I'm looking at graph processing problems as a testbed for this, and came across a problem that I haven't been able to solve elegantly. The problem is to find "linker" vertexes that a pair of verteces from a pre-defined set. For example, if the graph verteces represent cities and edges represent flights...

Hi, since there doesn't appear to be a way to get the individual elements that make up the xpath to a result node, I'm trying to create an xpath that will result in selecting this xml node which would be the last board element without a finish attribute. <Board sn@="12347" start="7/15/03"/> other board elements may include a finish attribute, e.g, <Board sn@="12346" start="7/15/03" finish="7/15/03"/>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
