Thanks. Both methods worked. I understand the name function (at least
now), but how does this line work:
"preceding-sibling::*[1]/self::transition"
I get from this:
(1) Look at the preceeding-sibling axis
(2) Look at any node in the preceeding-siblings
(3) Look at the previous node
But I am a bit confused by the syntax after the "/". I thought that once
you used a predicate ([1]), you couldn't go any further in detail. (This
is what baffled me.)
Thanks

Paul,
try changing the test to this:
<xsl:when test = "name(preceding-sibling::*[1])='transition'">
Or "preceding-sibling::*[1]/self::transition" which also means "the first
preceding-sibling node, if it is a transition", without requiring the
"name()" function-call.
I think the way you have it now simply returns the first previous
occurrence of a 'transition' element rather than testing to
see if the
immediately previous element is a 'transition' element.
agree.
