RE: [xsl] How to count the nodes based on attribute presence

["Oleg Tkachenko" <olegt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Mailer!

> In my XML a tag is such that it can or cannot contain

> ------
> <Task due="true">
> <Do>Call mother</Do>
> </Task>
> <Task>
> <Do>Make a report</Do>
> </Task>

> 
> I want to count the Task nodes which do not contain
> attribute due="true"

Well, let's try to translate it to xpath:

>I want to count 
count(
>the Task nodes
count(//Task
> which
count(//Task[
>do not
count(//Task[not(
>contain attribute
count(//Task[not(@
>due="true"
count(//Task[not(@due='true')])

Translation has finished, the result is count(//Task[not(@due='true')])
