Subject: Re: [xsl] Just the first 'x' elements within a for-each From: Simon.Fairey@xxxxxx Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 10:33:16 +0000 |
Hi, This doesn't seem to want to work whereas using: <xsl:if test="position() <= 2"> within the for-each does? Might this be something to do with the XSL parsing in XML Spy 5? Oh and I had a good look around but couldn't find a simple description for 'declarative programming'? (I'm originally from an engineering background so no formal computer science background) Cheers Si Jeni Tennison <jeni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 17/03/2003 17:42 Please respond to Jeni Tennison To: Simon.Fairey@xxxxxx cc: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Just the first 'x' elements within a for-each Hi Simon, > I've tried numerous connotations of for-each loops, recursive > functions etc but for the life of me I can't seem to get something > which will only print/process the first 'x' (in my case x is 2) > elements and then bail out of the for-each or just simply ignore the > remaining ones found. In declarative programming, you can't "bail out". Instead, try selecting only the elements that you want to process: <xsl:for-each select="*[position() <= 2]"> ... </xsl:for-each> Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ ********************************************************************************** This email may contain confidential material.
