XPath Question

[Cory Isaacson <ci...@compuflex.com>]

If I have a document like this:

<a>
  <b>value1</b>
  <b>value2</b>
  <b>value3</b>
</a>

And I want to find the '<a>' node which has the 2nd '<b>' = value2 and the
3rd '<b>' = value3, is there any way to do this? I have tried position, such
as (from the context of <a>):

<xsl:value-of select="./*[(position()=2 and .='value2') and (position()=3)
and .='value3'" />

It seems that its checking one node at a time, so the node cannot belong to
position 2 and 3 at the same time. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Cory
