> (My definitions) > level3 is a 'direct descendant' of level2 why not use the XPath terminology, "child" ? Then I'd be sure I know what you mean. Also your example was a bit confusing (and still is) as there are two things you might have meant by "level 3": the element of that name, and the h3 element with that content. I assume you meant the former. > <xsl:variable name='x' select='/level1/level2'/> > <xsl:variable name='y' select='/level1'/> well that sets x to be all the level 3 nodes and y to be all thelevel one ones. count($x/*|$y) That is asking if elements in y is a children of elements in x which clearly won't be the case as every element in y is a parent of an element in x, given your definitions. If x is /level1/level2 then $x/* is the nodes selected by /level1/level2/* which is never going to include teh nodes selected by /level1 is it? I suspect you just have x and y the wrong way round. Although if you swap them then the test with count() isn't really needed as it will always be true.
