Given:

<Event>
  <EventType>Name1</EventType>
  <Stuff>stuff</Stuff>
  <ImageName>imageName1</ImageName>
</Event>

<Event>
  <EventType>Name2</EventType>
  <Destination>place</Destination>
  <ImageName>imageName1</ImageName>
  <ImageName>imageName2</ImageName>
  <imageName>imageName3</ImageName>
</Event>

End Result:

<Event>
  <EventType>Name1</EventType>
  <Stuff>stuff</Stuff>
  <ImageName>imageName1</ImageName>
</Event>

<Event>
  <EventType>Name2</EventType>
  <Destination>place</Destination>
</Event>

Essentially, I want to remove all of the <ImageName> nodes in the second <Event> set. I am thinking that this can be done based on the text that is in the second sets <EventType> field (Name2 in this example). However, I am not sure how to check another node's text and remove (or not copy) the nodes that are in the same tier.
Attempt:

  <xsl:template match="/Event/ImageName">
    <xsl:if test="parent::node()/EventType[./text() = Name2]">
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

I've also put the <xsl:apply-templates /> in between the if statements. I have also done a number of other attempts, almost all I cannot remember. In the end, none of my attempts remove the <ImageName> tags from the second <Event> set. OR, one of my attempts seemed to remove everything from teh XML during transform.

Any ideas? Thank you.

You simply need the identity template to copy everything:

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

And then a simple template to match the elements you don't want to copy:

<xsl:template match="/Event[EventType='Name2']/ImageName"></xsl:template>

I think you had the right idea - but don't forget if you are matching a string you need to put it in quotes.

That worked! Thank you.

Well, it's obvious that I have a lot to learn about XSLT. But I only started 2 weeks ago. Appreciate it!
