Subject: What do brackets [ ] mean? From: "alex chang" <shortestpath@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 07:53:05 EDT |
I posted a problem a few days or so ago, describing that I was trying to use:
<xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=". = 'Transaction_Type'"> Transaction Description </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose>
I received an error: Expected token 'eof' found '='. . -->=<-- 'Transaction_Type'
and I thought it was because of the namespace that I was using: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl. (I know this is obsolete but the current version of software I am using requires me to do so.)
However, a consultant came in and changed <xsl:when test=". = 'Transaction_Type'"> to <xsl:when test=".[. $eq$ 'Transaction_Type']"> and this worked!
He just left (he was working an overnight shift), but I am anxious to know what the [ ] (with the dot inside it) means. Also, from what I understand a $ sign is used to get the value of a variable, but how about $eq$?
Thanks in advance, -alex ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
