Okay, I figured it out after talking it over with someone else. Whitespace will get you every time, if you're not careful. Adding <xsl:strip-space elements="element"/> did the job. Or I could wrap it all into the XPath expression as follows, adding an additional predicate to ensure that whitespace nodes are excluded: <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::node()[not(self::text())][1][self::comment()]"/> This worked just as well.

What's wrong with my XPath expression? It won't display anything. <xsl:for-each select="element"> <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::comment()]"/> </xsl:for-each> I've confirmed that the parser I'm using passes comments to the XSLT processor (Instant Saxon), as the comment() node test works in other cases, such as the following: <xsl:for-each select="comment()"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> Thanks, Evan Lenz elenz@xxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
