Many thanks Michael, it works. Now I understand how to navigate the pointers through the current node and the node I searched for.

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you still haven't given a very precise specification. For example if there are two identical elements under "add" do you require exactly two matching elements under "delete"? Or at least two? Or is one enough? You could start with something like <xsl:for-each select="add/*"> <xsl:if test="../../delete/*[name()=current()/name()]"> ... there's a match ... </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
