 > The following stylesheet will output the preceding > siblings (of which there > is one in your source code). what about multiple siblings? If I have 5 siblings, i only want the first preceding-sibling:: also, there is no gaurantee that the preceding element is a sibling of the current node. I'm thinking more along the lines of getting the preceding::tab element (cousin (diff parent) or sibling) where the current element has tab/@state='on' for example: <tab state="off"> <tab id="1.2.1"></tab> <tab id="1.2.2"></tab> <tab id="1.2.3"></tab> </tab> <tab state="on"> <tab id="1.3.1" state="on"></tab> </tab> <tab state="off"> <tab id="1.4.1"></tab> </tab> if i'm on tab where id="1.3.1" & state="on", i want to grab the preceding nested <tab> (id='1.2.3')... the end result I'm after is basically so that with the deepest <tab> that has state="on", i can grab the preceding/following deepest <tab>...in this case yielding preceding <tab id="1.2.3"> and following <tab id="1.4.1"> --- AndrewWatt2000@xxxxxxx wrote: > In a message dated 10/07/01 20:21:55 GMT Daylight > Time, apwebdesign@xxxxxxxxx > writes: > > > > using xpath, how do I find an element, with a > specific > > attribute (say <tab state="on">), and then grab > it's > > preceding and/or following element's (child or > > sibling) 'id' attribute?
