So why isn't it working for me?
How can following-sibling::*[not(substring(.,string-length(.))=',')][4] not
return just the forth node, but all nodes?
I'm confused :-(
And I just love those font tags. I even use upper case HTML tags!!! hah hah.
If I removed my font tags, I'd have to use that terribly unreliable css :-)
There are users out there still using Netscape you know.
Cheers David,
Daniel

I'm using
<xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::*[not(substring(.,string-length(.))=',')][positio
n()=4]" />
To hopefully retrieve 12 POINT STREET,
[position()=4] (or equivalently [4]) would select the 4th node that was
in the list generated by
following-sibling::*[not(substring(.,string-length(.))=',')]
ie the 4th sibling (just counting those not ending with a comma)
(by the way are you sure you really want to polute your generated HTML
with all those <font> elements, they are deprecated in HTML4 and XHTML)
