I think the XPath for the next element is something like
following::node() as in
<xsl:value-of select="following::node()"/>

That would select the text node between the end of <div> and beginning of <font>.

The XPath address for the next element is "following::*", though typically I use "following-sibling::*" because I'm usually dealing only with siblings.

Subject: [xsl] traversing to next Element

Hi all,

How do i jump to next element, for example,

<div>
    <table>
      <tr>
         . ....

     </table>
</div>
<font>
.....

i'm in DIV and how do i go to FONT in XSL.

Be careful using either following axis because you may get duplication based on how you got to <div> in the first place: if when at the parent of <div> you chose to process all children elements, then <font> will be processed when you are finished processing <div> without having to explicitly use any following axis, therefore when you do use a following axis you would get duplication in this situation.

Questions like yours are difficult to answer without knowing a lot more about what you are doing, what the context of the current node list is, how you got to where you are, etc.

I hope this helps.
