DNN DDRMenu xslt template test if previous item was selected

Question

I need to know if the previous node was a @selected node. I need to basically mark the next/following node if it exists with a special css class.

I tried the following code and it threw an exception

<xsl:if test="(preceding-sibling:@selected = 1)">next</xsl:if>

Here is a copy of the xslt with your suggestion in it: http://pastebin.com/gANkhz2g

The menu is the standard menu:

<dnn:MENU id="nameMenu" MenuStyle="Simple" runat="Server"/>

I honestly do not know the xml that is produced by that control.

That added "next" to the selected node and everything after it. — James Helms, Sep 11 '13 at 19:59
If you post an actual stylesheet and example XML, it'll be easier to test. — Alf Eaton, Sep 12 '13 at 07:49
Alf, I have updated my question with links to the xslt and information about the control. — James Helms, Sep 12 '13 at 12:58
Without seeing the XML I can't say for sure, but I suspect this is what you're looking for: `next` — Alf Eaton, Sep 12 '13 at 14:09
That worked brilliantly. Can you officially make your comment an answer so I can accept it? — James Helms, Sep 12 '13 at 21:29

Use preceding-sibling::node[1] to select the first (in reverse order) preceding sibling named "node":

<xsl:if test="preceding-sibling::node[1]/@selected = 1">next</xsl:if>
