Combining xpaths or running multiple search criteria

Hi

One of the less documented features of xpath is how to run multiple
search on nodes or attributes
e.g
<Book name="Harry Potter" price="10GBP"/>
<Book name="Harry Potter" price="5USD"/>
now if you want one of them following is xpath query

..//Book[@name="Harry Potter" and @price="10GBP"]
we can use or instead of and for 'OR'ing
Cheers

Vishy,

is this a question, a statement or what? If it's a question, what exactly is
the question? If it is astatement, it is quite clearly wrong!! This
functionality of XPath is very well documented in the XPath specification
