Description

Hi! This did nothing:

<xsl:value-of select="./ItemId//text()"/>

But this found the node:

<xsl:value-of select=".//globalTradeItemNumber/text()"/>

Below is the reference element:

<lineItems lineItemNumber="1">
<ItemId>
<globalTradeItemNumber>411</globalTradeItemNumber>
</ItemId>
<requestedQuantity ordered="5" freeGoods="2">7</requestedQuantity>
<netPrice reference="fff" currency="fff" number="vvv">
<monetaryAmount>5.65</monetaryAmount>
</netPrice>
<canceIifNotDeliveredBy>
<date>2/21/2000</date>
<time>1:00</time>
</canceIifNotDeliveredBy>
</lineItems>

I'm no expert, but I have found the Jaxen XPath engine reliable. I don't
mean to give you advice, but perhaps it might be a good engine to use for
resolving XPath expressions.
