Hi all,

I am having a bit of trouble identifying the first element of a set of
children.  I had an answer that worked for a while until the case where
there was an element that was identical to the first element.  Here is
what I had before:


XML Document
==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ROOT>
<A>
<B>Some Paragraph 1</B>
<B>Some Paragraph 2</B>
<B>Some Paragraph 3</B>
<B>Some Paragraph 1</B>
<B>Some Paragraph 5</B>
</A>
</ROOT>

XSL Transform
==================
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"/>
  <xsl:template match="B">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="../B[1]=.">
        <xsl:text>first B</xsl:text>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:text>next B</xsl:text>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


The output for this now is:
first B
next B
next B
first B
next B

I realize that the test in the xsl above is comparing the value of the
element and whenever the value of the current node is equal to the
value of B[1] the test passes and outputs "first B". In reality
however, I need to only identify the actual first child and would like
the output to look like:

first B
next B
next B
next B
next B

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Andy
