Rahil, as a prior respondent alluded to, document('foo.xml') returns the root node, "/". See the following diagram:

/  (root node)
|
+--Top
     |
     +--SubConcepts
     |       |
     |       +-- SubConcept
     |
     +--SubConcepts


As you can see, the root node, "/" does not have any siblings.


By the way, if you're looking for tree comparision routines, you may want to see Sal Mangano's "XSLT Cookbook" from O'Reilly. It's XSL templates are available for download on the web, and can be used for constrained comparisions. Search this NG's archives.

I corrected the <xsl:for-each> condition such that its now
<xsl:for-each select="document($first)/following-sibling::Top/SubConcepts/SubConcept[@name=$firstName]/Value>


But it still returns null.

For testing purpose I changed the condition to

<xsl:value-of select="document($arch)/Top/SubConcepts/SubConcept[1]">

and it returned the right value.

I have a feeling its got something to do with the way Ive written the following-sibling statement.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rahil
