Hi Nathan,
As in XSLT 1.0, test="../../c04[1]" will test for the existencee of a
c04 inside the grandparent. Since you are inside a c04, this will
always be true.
You probably want something like "empty(../preceding-sibling::c04)"
But I might go to a little more trouble to make my logic explicit:
<xsl:template match="c04">
<!-- binding a variable to a Boolean value capturing your test -->
<xsl:variable name="c04-is-first" select="empty(preceding-sibling::c04)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="did">
<xsl:if test="$c04-is-first">...
I will forego the rant on why EAD is so much easier with plain 'c'
than it is with numbered components. So much easier that one is
usually rewarded by a pre-process that converts numbered components
into unnumbered ones....
Cheers, Wendell

I'm working on a template that matches on c04, then has an
xsl:for-each for the did (so did is m context node). I am transforming
this into an HTML table.
I'd like to do an xsl:coose/when to test for the first c04 child of
c03, so I can add table headers. As this is processing all dids I need
the test to specifically catch the first c04 child. However
test="../../c04[1]" does not seem to be doing the trick.
Any suggestions? I'm using XSLT 2.0.
Thanks,
Nathan
