Re: Finding immediately preceding node.

Thanks David:

	That is what I am afraid of.  It would be so
easy to set a variable as a switch in the parent but
you can't seem to do that with variables because they
can't be transferred across templates.  

	In XML processing looking at parents is 
common problem.  You can do it very easily in DOM,
I just can't figure out how to do it in XSLT.  

	I am taking Ken's advice and rewriting
the XSLT to use <xsl:for-each> but I am still 
having difficulty finding the immediately preceding-sibling.
Now it is always giving a true because there is a qualifying
sibling in the tree.

Thanks again.
