RE: [xsl] Confounded by grand-parents

[Jon Steeves <Jon_Steeves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately, I need the template to match on the register and then test to see if the grandparent is the 1st element of its type.

Thanks

Jon

you might try

xsl:template match="blocks/block[1]/register[1]"

or if you need the xsl:choose sytntax, i'm sure someone will post a fine
example of the preceding-sibling::axis.
