I am attempting to compare the values in one node with the preceding node. When using the preceding-sibling on the first node, it retuns a null (which is good), but thereafter returns the value of the first node (only) as the tree is processed. If I use the axisName following:: or following-sibling:: then it works fine. I should be able to reverse my logic a bit and get it to work, but there has been a whole lot of testing trying to figure this out. The object of the test is to place a title row for each group of nodes in a table. Once I am returning the values I need from the preceding-sibling:: then I can build the xsl:if statement. Right now it's set to 1=1 to iterate through the nodes. I have reported this as a bug to the Apache XML buglist, but not having the expertise of many of the members, I'm unsure if it is a bug or maybe I'm expecting behavior that I won't get, given the way in which I'm doing things here. I would apreciate it very much if someone could confirm this works with another engine or explain why it won't work at all. I have been through MK's XSLT book working on a solution and by all rights this should work. It's not elegant, but hey, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time :=)
