RE: Get the first Array element

In your code example there is only ONE occurrence of TaxTotal/Amount -- in
that case, select="TaxTotal/Amount" will work.

If there are multiple TaxTotal/Amounts and you only want the first one, then I
think select="TaxTotal[child::Amount][1]"" would do it.

Sorry it was a mistake in the posting:
Correction:
I will get the FIRST Taxtotal element which has the Amount element I tried it
with <xsl-value-of select="TaxTotal[1]/Amount"/> But it does not work as
expected because I get the other Taxtotal (the first one) which has not the
element 'Amount'
Here is my XML data:

<elements>
....
 <TaxTotal>
  <otherAmount>22.00</otherAmount>
 </TaxTotal>
 .......
 <TaxTotal>
  <otherAmount>90.00</otherAmount>
 </TaxTotal>
 <TaxTotal>
      .....
  <Amount>44.00</Amount>
  </TaxSubtotal>
 </TaxTotal>
 <TaxTotal>
  .....
  <Amount>10.00</Amount>
  </TaxSubtotal>
 </TaxTotal>
 ......
</elements>



I hope i am now more cleare
 ??

Unless you clearly define the problem, don't expect any useful response -- we
are not supernaturals and only have limited guessing power.
