I'd like to be able to find the XPath search or the node hierarchy for an Element. For example, if the Element is <d> in: <a> <b> <c> <d> </d> </c> </b> </a> I'd like to have either the XPath search argument ("/a//b//c//d) or the list of nodes in the elements parents ("a b c d"). Is there a method that returns this? Cliff
