Hi Bernard, > Amongst the child elements there is a sequence of zero or more "a" > elements. I need an XPath expression to select/match the first > element after this sequence of "a" elements(if present). The first > element's name after the "a" sequence is unknown. In the above > example it just happens to be "xp" It depends if you're selecting or matching. If you're selecting, then you can say: go to the z element: z from there go to the a elements: z/a and from there to any immediately following sibling... z/a/following-sibling::*[1] that isn't itself an 'a' element: z/a/following-sibling::*[1][not(self::a)] This will only work in a select expression because match patterns don't allow following-sibling:: axes. For a match pattern, you need something like you have already or one of its equivalents, like: z/*[preceding-sibling::a and not(self::a)][1] or: z/*[not(self::a)][preceding-sibling::*[1][self::a]] I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
