I have some XML and an XPath query. I'm using Yahoo! widgets, so I'm using XPath 1.0.

Here's the gist of my XML...

<root>

    <cat num=SOURCE>

        <movie>

            <swf>speak.swf</swf> 

            <width>250</width> 

            <height>150</height> 

            <colour>cccccc</colour> 

        </movie>

        <movie>

            <swf>inertia.swf</swf> 

            <width>380</width> 

            <height>130</height> 

            <colour>9a9a9a</colour> 

        </movie>

        <movie>

            <swf>swing.swf</swf> 

            <width>380</width> 

            <height>130</height> 

            <colour>9A9A9A</colour> 

        </movie>

        ....

Now... if I run this query:

root/cat/movie/swf

I get 42 results, all 'swf' nodes which is correct.

If however, I just want the 6th one, I'd like to be able to do:

root/cat/movie/swf[6]

But I get a list containing 0 nodes.

Weirdly, using [1] (And no other value) yields my list of all 42 nodes.

Clearly I'm missing something quite fundamental here. Anyone see what it is?
