Hi Andrew, Try this one: //para [generate-id() = generate-id(ancestor::* [starts-with(name(), 'step')][1] /descendant::para[1] ) ] Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev.

For example: <xsl:template match="step1|step2"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="specpara/para"> <if test="this is the first occurance"> ..... </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="para"> <if test="this is the first occurance"> ..... </xsl:template> Based on this xml <step1> <para>here</para> <step2> <specpara> <para>here</para> </specpara> <para>not here</para> </step2> <para>not here</para> </step1> -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Dimitre Novatchev Sent: 25 March 2002 15:15 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: first occurance of node with hierarchy Hi Andrew, The following XPath expression returns the "para" elements you need: //*[starts-with(name(), 'step')]/descendant::para[1] Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev.

I need to find the first occurance of <para> within each step. cheers andrew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
