Hello,

I have been asking this a few days ago, and since I got no response and  
I needed it badly I came up with a hack:

[http://www.rubyrailways.com/evaluating-xpaths-with-indicdes-in-hpricot/](http://www.rubyrailways.com/evaluating-xpaths-with-indicdes-in-hpricot/)

I am not really sure it is the nicest way to solve this, but it works  
😉 Maybe it can be useful for somebody else, too.

Best,  
Peter
