<!--Here is a snipet of xslt code.--><xsl:template match="/"><xsl:apply-templates select="level2"/></xsl:template><xsl:template match="level2"><xsl:if test="following-sibling::NOTE"><note><para>!!!!TEST IS TRUE!!!!</para></note></xsl:if><!--Here is a snipet of xml.--><level2></level2><StepLevel3></StepLevel3><level2></level2><NOTE></NOTE>What happens is that true is returned for the first and second <level2> because <NOTE> is a sibling. I need the first <level2> to return a false because the next node is not <NOTE> and the second <level2> a true. I need to test for <NOTE> right next to the current node not any sibling. Can't seem to find it.Thanks

I remember facing a similar situation once. Try this:

<xsl:template match="level2"><xsl:variable name="level2pos" select="position()"/><xsl:if test="following-sibling::NOTE[position() = $level2pos + 1]"><note><para>!!!!TEST IS TRUE!!!!</para></note></xsl:if>

<xsl:template match="level2"><xsl:variable name="level2pos" select="position()"/><xsl:if test="following-sibling::NOTE[position() = $level2pos + 1]"><note><para>!!!!TEST IS TRUE!!!!</para></note></xsl:if>

Thanks for the help. The code sugestion worked but with a different xml scenerio it did not.<level2></level2><NOTE></NOTE><level2></level2><StepLevel3></StepLevel3><level2></level2><NOTE></NOTE><level2></level2><StepLevel3></StepLevel3>In this case the if statement was true for the first <NOTE> found after a <level2> but it did not find the 2nd <NOTE> as true.Thanks

try this xslt

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">	<xsl:template match="/">		<xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::level2"/>	</xsl:template>	<xsl:template match="level2">		<xsl:if test="name(following::*) = 'NOTE'">			<note><para>!!!!TEST IS TRUE!!!!</para></note><br/>		</xsl:if>	</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks aalbetski the code worked! An interesting point though is I get an error when the xslt version is 2.0 but it works fine with 1.0 using xmlSpy. I'll use 1.0.Thanks all.

In XSLT 2.0, XPath axes are deprecated (as far as I've read). Perhaps that is why it's not working.
