Mark,
<xsl:template match="column/row">...</xsl:template>
The match expression here says "match row elements that have column element
parents" (it doesn't match rows with other parents).
Or,
<xsl:if test="parent::column">...</xsl:if>
tests if the parent node of the context node is a column.
Are either of those any help?
Cheers,
Wendell

In the xml I have row node which is inside column node

In xsl what is the most efficient way to check if the
row node is a child of column ?
Thanks for the help.
