Hi all- good to be back on the list; I got bounced from my old job and haven't been in a position to collect a lot of email in that time. I have a quick question for you XSLT-guru types: How can I obtain the first node of a set of nodes that meets a given set of criteria? In my case, I have an XML document that contains zero or more nodes in a particular element, like so: <ROOT> <Client> ... Various elements here ... <Contacts> <Contact ContactId='5'> ... Contact information ... <IsReferrer>1</IsReferrer> </Contact> <Contact ContactId='10'> ... Contact information ... <IsReferrer>0</IsReferrer> </Contact> <Contact ContactId='25'> ... Contact information ... <IsReferrer>1</IsReferrer> </Contact> </Client> </ROOT> I have no real control over the order of these elements, and what I need to be able to do is obtain the first Contact element which has zero ('0') in the IsReferrer element. Actually, I need to get the value of a child element (ContactFirstName) of this element. I can do something like: /ROOT/Client/Contacts/Contact[IsReferrer='0']/ContactFirstName but that returns a node-set, not a single node. I assume I need to do something with the position() function, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Thanks in advance for any assistance, Corey M.
