Richard, You can't use ancestor-or-self in this case because of the structure of you xml. Look at it like this <A> <P name="hello" value="blue"/> <B> <P name="goodbye" value="red"/> <P name="hello" value="green"/> <C/> </B> </A> If your context node is C then it's ancestors are B and A so you need the preceding axis select="preceding::P" This will give you all P nodes so you need to add a predicate so that it gives you only the nodes which don't have a preceding node with the same @name. select="preceding::P[@name != preceding::P/@name]" Ciao Chris XML/XSL Portal http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >[mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Richard >Mitchell >Sent: 07 March 2001 15:12 >To: 'XSL' >Subject: [xsl] MSXML ancestor-or-self > > >Well it seems I've hit a small snag what I want >is to get a list of variables in a scope so the >closest is taken and passed on.
