Subject: Re: [xsl] Selecting node at a certain position from a nodeset From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 13:26:15 GMT |
<xsl:apply-templates select="($sections/section[@group=1]/item[@id=1])[$pos]"/> and it works!! So I think this is the better solution! Yes, if that's what you want to do, although you would be clearer to use [position()=$pos] rather than [$pos]. [x] is short for [position()=x] if x is a number, this is clear in [1] which is [position()=1] but you can not tell in Xpath whether a variable is a number or not and if $pos were for example a string rather than a number [$pos] would be short for [$pos != ''] which would not be what you want. If you use position()=$pos then you will force XPath always to do a numeric test.
