XPath expression to search entire document for attribute X

[titanandrews]

Hi All,
Is it possible to create an XPath expression that can return ALL nodes within a document that has an attribute X with a value of Y?


thanks,

Barry

Yes, your xpath would be //@{attribute name}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
   <a name="1"/>
   <b>
      <c name="2"/>
   </b>
</root>

Running an xpath of "//@name" returns nodes a and c
