Hi,I am very new to this forum. I started learning XPath queries.Can anyone please assist me on how to get elements from an xml which doesn't have a root element. For example: The xml: <book id="bk101"> <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author> <description>with XML.</description> </book> <book id="bk201"> <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author> <description>with XML.</description> </book> <book id="bk301"> <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author> <description>with XML.</description> </book> Now I want to get a book element where the book id is bk101. Thanks in advance, Vishwanath Thanks,Vishwanath
