Is it possible > to index elements in such a manner? Yes (in XSLT) (well almost). <xsl:if test="@value=preceding-sibling::*[1]/@value"> does roughly what you want. The only caveat is that the "previous node on the same level" must be a sibling, not a cousin. If you want to test against an n-th cousin for any value of n, use preceding::*[count(ancestor::*)=$depth][1] where $depth is initialized to count(ancestor::*) for the context node. And be patient while it executes. I'm not sure what you mean by "indexing elements". Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
