Hi Folks, I have an embarrassingly basic question. My XML document has an <airport> element: <airport> <a>blah</a> <b> <c>blah</c> </b> ... </airport> I want the first 10 leaf elements within the <airport> element (<a>, <c>, ...). I thought this XPath would do the job: <xsl:for-each select="airport//*[not(child::*)][position() le 10]"> But that XPath does not return the first 10 leaf elements. It returns over nine thousand elements! What is that XPath expression saying? Clearly it is saying something different than I thought it was saying. I think I found the correct XPath expression: <xsl:for-each select="(airport//*[not(child::*)])[position() le 10]"> Do you agree that that XPath expression will select the first 10 leaf elements within the <aircraft> element? /Roger
