hi,
try
<xsl:when test="*[1]">...
which takes any child that is on position 1 (child::* is a bit verbose but is
the same). or did i misunderstand your problem?

Betreff: [xsl] testing 1st child
Any suggestions would be appreciated
I have some numbered steps that may have several children in any order
but I only want to test the first child of the step
If it is a figure, warning, caution, or note do one thing if it is a
title or a para do something else
I tried the following with mixed results
<xsl:when
test="child::figure|child::table|child::warning|child::caution
|child::no
te">
Sample xml :
<step1>
<note>
<para>blah blah</para>
</note>
<para>xxxxx</para>
</step1>
<step1>
<warning><para>xjsdkfjsjfs;jfa</para></warning>
<para>xxxxx</para>
</step1>
<step1>
<para>xxxxx</para>
<figure><graphic/></figure>
</step1>
<step1>
<figure><graphic/></figure>
<note>
<para>blah blah</para>
</note>
<para>xxxxx</para>
</step1>
