Nice summary. Probably should have been a little clearer in my post but this is the thrust of my post. > preceding-sibling::pear is what is needed. In this case, but I think what the OP was going for was actually to find the closest node (not clear if it needed to be a sibling or not) preceding orange. The others hit it on the head with preceding::*[1] (or preceding-sibling::*[1] which is more likely what is wanted). > Peel me a sibling. *lol* Jon Gorman | ||||||
