Thanx for the info. But what I want to know is if we don't know the
exact position of the current element like *[1] how do I go the next or
previous element from the current position (assuming that I don't know
the exact position number). Can I say something like 

*[position()=current()] OR following::*[position()=current()] OR
preceding::*[position()=current()]

Will it work ?

Thanx,
Chitra

Hi,

> 1> Go to the first element (e.g like position() = first()..)

First of what? Of document

/*

or first child element

*[1]

> 2> Go to the next element after the current element (e.g position() =
> next().. )

following::*[1]

> 3> 2> Go to the previous element after the current element (e.g
> position() = previous().. )

preceding::*[1]

> 4> Go to the next sibling element from the current position.

following-sibling::*[1]
