I have an xslt which is working in ie but does not in mozilla. Here's the offending xml fragment:

  <Page id="1" number="1" />
    <Paragraph id="1">
       Here is some paragraph text for paragraph 1
    </Paragraph>
   <Paragraph id="2">
       Here is some paragraph text for paragraph 2
   </Paragraph>

the relevent xsl is where the current node is the <Page id="1" number="1"/> node:

<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()[1]" mode="outsidePara"/>

in ie this works correctly evaluating for the <Paragraph id="1"> node but in mozilla the xsl:apply-templates evaluates nothing.

Does anybody know what and why the difference? I'd like my transform to work with mozilla (that is, firefox 1.5.0.3)

thanks,
jz

Actually it's working correctly in Mozilla and incorrectly in IE. The node that immediately follows the Page element is a whitespace text node. But IE throws whitespace text nodes away. Use following-sibling::* if you want the next element, rather than the next node.
