Presumably $firstDiv is not a node, e.g. it might be a string.

Subject: [xsl] xsl:if giving me "Invalid type" error
<xsl:if test="$firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*">
...
</xsl:if>
only works if $firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*
returns empty. Otherwise, I get a complaint about
XPath error Invalid type in
$firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*
Nothing I can think of seems to fix this. I tried
using boolean($firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*), but
I still get the Invalid type error.
What's going on?
