There is no from-ancestors function i know of.
Whats wrong with:
<xsl:if test="@att='checkThis'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count(ancestor::
*)=count(following::childTag[1]/ancestor::*)">
<!-- do nothing since this is the right depth -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
. . . error message . . .
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:if>
Thanks, Joerg! That is exactly what I needed, but in a much simpler
statement!
