Re: preceeding sibling on a first node

Hi Marina,

I'm not sure what you tried exactly, but:

  <xsl:variable name="vNumNotSame"
    select="count(LOG/*[number(LOCATION_ID) !=
                        number(TARGET_CHARACTER_LOCATION_ID) and
                        not(preceding-sibling::*[1]/MESSAGE =
                            MESSAGE)])"/>

works -- I get:

 The total number of messages sent was:
6 The total number of messages sent to a
different location was 1 The total number of messages sent to the
same location was 1

Cheers,

Jeni
