If you're walking through the B elements one at a time, then <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::B[@a or @b][1]"/> I.e. select the first following sibling that has either "a" or "b" attribute. Use not() if you want negation of the test result. Cheers, Jarno - DJ Darjis: Harder, Faster, Louder!
