 I have the current list of elements; <xsl:variable name="list"> <li id="1" href="one.html" /> <li id="2" href="two.html" /> <li id="3" href="three.html" /> <li id="4" href="four.html" /> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="id" select="3" /> What I would like to do is extract the two neighbouring elements, the one before and after, a specific element I am looking up. So say I want to look up the element with @id=3, I would then like to retrieve the @href value of id=@2 and id=@4. My actuall problem does not use sequential numbers as @id's, so I can not use arithmetic on the @id value. I can retrieve the element with a specific @id with the follwing expression: <xsl:variable name="li" select="exsl:node-set($list)/li[@id=$id]/@href" /> What I don't understand is how to get the neighbouring elements. I believe I have to use the axis following-sibling:: and preceding-sibling::, but I can't come up with the exact XPath expression. Based on the logic for retrieving a specific element attribute value my current _non_working_ expression for retrieving neighbour values are; <xsl:variable name="prev" select="exsl:node-set($list)/following-sibling::li[@id=$id][1]/@href" /> <xsl:variable name="next" select="exsl:node-set($list)/preceding-sibling::li[@id=$id][1]/@href" /> What would be the correct way to retrieve the neighbouring element values realtive to one specific element? Thank you for your help.
