Nested position query with Xpath





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

<parentNode> 
<divNodes>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</divNodes>
<inputNodes>
<input/>
<input/>
</inputNodes>
</parentNode>


In the above xml, I am given a node whose position is not known to me, and based on that node, I need to navigate to the corresponding Div node. So for example, if I am given the first input node, I would select the 1st div node; if I am given the 2nd input node, I navigate to the 2nd div node. Is there a way to create this kind of conditional query with xpath?



a pseudo code example of what I would like my xpath query to look like/accomplish::



input[./ancestor::parentNode/divNodes/div[position() = inputNodePosition]]


where inputNodePosition is the position() of the input node within InputNodes
