Dear Jeff I have removed the CR and got the result but I don't think that this the case. It is working fine with my other XSLTs.

At 02:57 PM 5/22/2007 +0800, you wrote:
The output is correct, you failed to consider the text node inside the contib-group element. In the contrib-group element there are four nodes; the CR before the fisrt contrib element, the first contrib element, the CR before the second contrib element and then the second contrib element. So when the template matches the contrib elements the position returned is 2 and 4 respectively. What you want would be:

count(preceding-sibling::contrib) = 0 ---> would return the first contrib

I hope this helps.

Dear Lists-
Thanks in advance as I get all solutions of my problems by this lists only. Today I am hang-up in a weired problem as I am not able to find out the problem in xslt. Please let me know what is wrong in the xslt.
