Select a node in "up-down" style
I want to select the ID of the first child of the first child of the root node but can't seem to find how. This is what I have in the select:
```
$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[1]/child::*[1]/child::*[1]/@id
```

Try this:
```
$currentPage/ancestor-or-self[level='1'][1]/*[1]/*[1]/@id
```

This works perfectly for me
```
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self :: *[@isDoc] [@level=1]/*[@isDoc]/*[@isDoc]/@id"/>
```
