Question

Im trying to find the first ancestor of an element with a specfic @id, where the ancestor has element "metaCategory" containing text...

So pseudo: Element with @id = XXXX --> Get first ancestor Where metaCategory text() is not empty

Hope this makes sense.

Structure example:

<SubFrontpage id="2049" parentID="1112" level="3" writerID="9" creatorID="1" nodeType="1107" template="1297" sortOrder="1" createDate="2010-11-02T14:41:51" updateDate="2013-10-28T10:38:41" nodeName="Demenssygdomme" urlName="demenssygdomme" writerName="Eksponent" creatorName="Webmaster" path="-1,1086,1112,2049" isDoc="">
