Yan and Marty,
There's absolutely a difference between the following-sibling and following axes (as any reference book will tell you :-). If they're not working as expected, why not post the relevant bit of your source document? with the offending bit of stylesheet so we can explain what it's really doing and why you should expect that. And don't forget to tell us what processor you're using so we know where to point our bug-detectors! By drawing attention to the actual working of the language, you are also likely to elicit interesting and potentially useful comments, such as why following-sibling is preferable to following in cases when you could use either.... Newbies who like to lurk are often helped immensely by the folks bold enough to ask the question. Cheers, Wendell At 10:10 AM 12/28/01, you wrote: .. Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 08:52:24 -0600 ..
