Hi Luke.
Try:
<xsl:if test="preceding-sibling::item[1][.='a']">
Hope that this helps.

Subject: [xsl] Immediate Previous Node
hello ppl,
i have a small problem, hope you can help.
i have a sorted xml something like:
<index>
<item>a</item>
<item>ab</item>
<item>b</item>
<item>c</item>
</index>
how can i, using xsl of course, find out the data of immediate previous
node. example while processing:
<item>ab</item>
using <xsl:if> i want to check whether the previous one is
<item>a</item> so
that i can process it different
hope i was clear
10x in advance
Luke
