Hi guys,

<xsd:keyref name="Ref1" refer="referA">
<xsd:selector xpath=".//AAAA[@name="myval"]" />
<xsd:field xpath="@attribute1" />
</xsd:keyref>

I want to select all AAAA nodes with name attribute value of "myval" but I'm getting syntax error. Can you please help me on this?

Thanks.

Wouldn't you expect the second " after the first " to end the string
literal? XML allows either a ' or a " to be used, and depending on which
you use for the string as a whole, you should use the other inside the
string.

Hi Ed,

I replaced the quotes with " but still not working.
<xsd:selector xpath=".//AAAA[@name="myval"]" />

It still looks like you have four double quotes... 
 
Also, it doesn't like like you're conforming to the restricted
subset of XPath that's permitted by the specification:
