Hi guys
I try to
get the name of the element, ChildElement1 which dynamically changes but
ever occurs
as the next child element after root (RootElement):
<xsl:value-of select="/node()[1]/name()"/>
As result, I get only the "RooElement" in output and not the ChildElement1 !

<RootElement version="2.1" name="Test">
<ChildElement1>
       <ChildElement2>
          <test>foo  </test>
        </ChildElement2>
</ChildElement1>
</RootElement>

h.h

/node()[1]/name()

selects the name of the first child node of / which will always be the name of the top level element in a well formed document unless there is a comment or processing instruction before the document element in which case it will be the name of the PI or "" for a comment.

You want

/*[1]/*[1]/name()

David
