Hi Stuart,

When you test a node set then if there are any nodes in the node set
it returns true; if it's empty it returns false. The easiest test is
one that tries to select the immediately following sibling of the
current element's parent, but only if it's an element3 element.

Go to the parent with ..
Go to its immediately following sibling element with
following-sibling::*[1]
Only select it if it's an element3 element with the predicate
[self::element3]

Steps are separated by /s and predicates are placed at the end of the
step. So the path is:

  ../following-sibling::*[1][self::element3]

I hope that helps,

Jeni
