Re: Testing for a following sibling node type that occ

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried implementing it, but since I am actually
operating from w/in a for-each loop of the 'B' node, I need to test for the
following 'A' node from the last 'B' node in each sequence somehow, and I
didn't have any luck using the preceding-sibling function.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again,
Steve

Starting with <root> as the context node, you can select the marked B nodes
using

A/preceding-sibling::B[1]

Subject: Testing for a following sibling node type that occurs at a varied position

I wasn't sure on how else to phrase the subject, but here is what I need
help in figuring out:



I need to detect when a specific sibling node follows the context node in
the document order, the catch is that it is not always located the same
number of positions after the context node, if it were, something like this
would work:

--------------------------------------------------------------

following-sibling::node()[1][self::A]

--------------------------------------------------------------



Here is an XML example to illustrate my situation:

--------------------------------------------

<root>

<A>text</A>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on following sibling 'A')

<C>text</C>

<C>text</C>

<C>text</C>

<A>text</A>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on following sibling 'A')

<D>text</D>

<D>text</D>

<A>text</A>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on following sibling 'A')

<C>text</C>

<A>text</A>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B>

<B>text</B> (indicate this node based on following sibling 'A')

<C>text</C>

<D>text</D>

<D>text</D>

<D>text</D>

<C>text</C>

<A>text</A>

</root>

--------------------------------------------



I want to implement a feature that corresponds w/ the last 'B' node that
occurs before the next 'A' node.



Thanks in advance for any help.



Steve
