RE: How to use xpath in this xml file...

Sorry, earlier xslt was incorrect.  Try this with the xml I provided(it
helps to have different ANNO values):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="PENSIONES">
	<xsl:for-each select="DETALLE_PENSION/ANNO">
		
		<xsl:value-of select="."/> = = <xsl:value-of
select="preceding::ANNO[1]"/> :: <xsl:value-of select=". =
preceding::ANNO[1]"/>
		<br/>
		
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Basically, loop through all DETALLE_PENSION/ANNO and get the value of the
ANNO (".")

Then compare preceding::ANNO[1](the very prior ANNO node).  For some reason
this will not work without the [1], although it was my impression that the
[1] was implicitly implied.  


Here is the output:

1998 = = :: false
1998 = = 1998 :: true
1998 = = 1998 :: true
1999 = = 1998 :: false
1998 = = 1999 :: false
1998 = = 1998 :: true

 When i select value of "ANNO" with xsl, i would like compare with last
value of ANNO. I have trying with precedence,ancestor,position(), but i have
failled. Which xpath sentence will be good in this case?

Thanks in advance and Greetings from Spain
