Question

Can anyone tell me how I can access the text after the < br / > in the following?

<li>
  <span class="title">Size</span>
  <p>Ladies<br />Case Diameter: 27.0 mm</p>
</li>

For some reason, I cannot get past it… however, I CAN get whats in front of it (Ladies)

Thanks!

Use:

/*/p/br/following-sibling::text()[1]

Do note the problem with the expression:

/li/p/br/following-sibling::text() 

Depending on the XML document this may select more than one (actually all) text-node following siblings of br, however you only want the text node that immediately follows br.
