Michael,

This is not all that big a deal, but what you have is much the same as:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$TheNode/following-sibling::*[1]" mode="generic"/>

and then, instead of a template called by name, a mode:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="generic">
...
</xsl:template>

This will work since the apply-templates will simply fail in the event that no first following sibling element exists. So you don't have to wrap the call in a conditional.

Is that something like what you were after?

But it's the following:: axis that's the real killer, not following-sibling::.

Cheers,
Wendell

I am trying to find a more efficient way to determine if a node has
siblings, and then access the next sibling.
Currently, I am running the following XSLT code:
<xsl:if test="$TheNode/following-sibling::node()">
 <xsl:call-template name="GenericTemplate">
  <xsl:with-param name="TheNode" select="$TheNode/following-sibling::*[1]"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
However, this is very expensive, when it comes to large XML documents.

Does anyone know a more efficient way to do this?
