Hi,

Firstly I wrote down the syntax wrong in the last email, I meant
following-siblings rather than next-sibling. Sorry.

Trying /following-sibling::untitled2 returns nothing.
//following-sibling::untitled2 returns only /untitled2 rather than it's
siblings.

Any ideas what is going wrong here?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

This result is perfectly good because you're querying to find a node 
called "untitled2" and under this node you're getting all the siblings

If I have understood you're expecting the siblings of untitled2?
To do so, just do that:

/next-sibling::untitled2
