RE: [xsl] preceding-sibling

["Borca, Olivier" <Olivier dot Borca at softplumbers dot com>]

Thx for your answer,
your answer is what I meant but I made a mistake in the mail :)
Anyway, I can't make it work ... and I don't understand why.

<xsl:when
test="@type='{preceding-sibling::element[position()=1]/@type}ValueMap'">

This is exactly what I'm tryin to do.
I test the value of the 'type' attribute of the current node compared to
the value of the 'type' attribute of the preceding node concatenated
with "ValueMap".
But it doesnt work ...

No, it's supposed to create an element which has the 
name of the 'type' attribute of the previous 'foo' element.

Perhaps a context problem?
