No, it looks like it should not work.
As i wrote before, the correct test expression would be:
<xsl:if test="parent::b[(_at_)name='cde']/preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc'">
parent::b is not the same as ../b:
../b goes to the parent (=b) and from there to some child element b which does
not exist.

Betreff: RE: [xsl] Finding immediately preceding node.
Betty, I can't see why not.
Your test expression,
<xsl:if test="../b[(_at_)name='cde']/preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc'">
looks like it should work, assuming that the context node
is a child of <b>, e.g. if it's in a template that matches "c" elements.
Maybe if you showed more of your xslt code we could see why you're
never getting a 'true'.
