Thanks, but you're missing a key point. The only common ancestor of all <dataset> nodes is the root node. Look at this diagram ... report dataset dataset dataset dataset dataset dataset DATASET I need to know when I'm starting the 'DATASET' that appears in caps -- the very last dataset node regardless of depth. d. -----Original Message----- From: Abhijit Junnare [mailto:mavlaabhi@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 3:52 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Finding last node in recursive tree Not sure if I understand you correct but here is what I think will work. you can use something like this <xsl:if test="count(following-sibling::node())=0"> in the template which matches the <dataset> element. If there are no more dataset elements following the current dataset element with the same parent thus meaning in the same nodeset then this will return a value true else it will be false. For example in the following context <stuff> 1 <dataset> 2 <dataset> <stuff/> 3 <dataset> <stuff/> </dataset> 4 <DATASET> <stuff/> </dataset> <stuff/> </dataset> </dataset> </stuff> Thus this will return a value of TRUE for nodes named 1 2 and 4 while it will return FALSE for 3 since it is not the last dataset element. Hope this helps. Good Luck !
