Again, I don't know exactly what you're after. But the XPath/XSLT axes aren't that involved. Basically, under their definition an element is assumed to follow another if its start tag follows the other's end tag, and to precede another if its end tag follows the other's start. So an element could never *follow* any of its ancestors in document order, nor could it *precede* its descendants. ================================================================ John E.
