> not(name(*[1])) > It seems to work, but is this correct? It doesn't really test if the first node is text, it just tests that it is not an element: in particular it is true if the first node is a comment, or if the element is empty. You don't need name() anyway elements always have a name so if *[1] returns anything at all then that will be true as a boolean, and name() is therefore also true, so the above is the same as not(*[1]) but what yiy said you wanted was node()[1][self::text()] David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
