You want to have a look at section 2.4 of the XPath spec. http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#predicates Basically, the preceding-sibling axis is a reverse axis, and position() returns the proximity of the node in the node-set with respect to the context node. So preceding-sibling::*[1] should return the immediately preceding sibling. -- Warren Hedley XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
