Re: [xsl] xpath expression

[Dan Diebolt <dandiebolt at yahoo dot com>]

Rather than matching on <type> directly, I think you are better 
off matching each <input> and from there looking forward or backward 
to the next or previous <input>. If you really must match on each
<type>, you can reach the parent <input> by simply adding "../" 
to the head of the XPath expression.

Dan
