wrong?
It's a good start, but you'll get each element processed N times,
where N is the number of that elements with that name. In other
words, if you have two <apple> elements, you'll get each of them
processed twice.
In other words, this is a classic grouping problem... find the
members of a group but eliminate duplicate processing.
Look at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N4486.html for help,
or read ch. 10 of Tennison's "Beginning XSLT".

hi!
how could i access the nodes though, if all i know is their
structure
but 'foo', 'orange' and 'apple' could be also any other name.. and
foo could also contain a flexible amount of children..
all i could think off is some kinda akward looking looping.. : /
ciao!

I just thought I'd provide a variation. I can't make any
performance
claims vs. a sort in a for-each. Maybe someone else knows.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//orange">
<xsl:sort data-type="number" order="descending"
select="string-length(.)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="orange">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<LongString type="{name()}" string-length="{string-length(.)}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</LongString>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

hi!
i have a xml document like this:
<root>
<foo>
<apple>a</apple>
<orange>oiasd</orange>
</foo>
<foo>
<apple>hellooooo</apple>
<orange>test</orange>
</foo>
</root>
what would be the most performant and best way to get
the longest text of a apple node, and the longest text
of a orange node?
thanks alot!
ciao!
