RE: Confounded by grand-parents

<xsl:template match="register[1]">
 <xsl:if test="generate-id(ancestor::block)=generate-id($block1)">
  <firstRegister>
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </firstRegister>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Unfortunately, I need the template to match on the register and then test to see if the grandparent is the 1st element of its type.

Thanks

Jon

you might try

xsl:template match="blocks/block[1]/register[1]"

or if you need the xsl:choose sytntax, i'm sure someone will post a fine
example of the preceding-sibling::axis.

cheers
