Subject: Re: [xsl] max() value of cells in a table From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 16:13:47 +0100 |
> (Nice that it could be done in a one liner. but actually the for statement isn't that nice and isn't that like the rest of xpath, its more of a foreign import from sql via xquery. I nearly posted it as for $i in ../../row return count(*) but just corrected myself in time to for $i in ../../row return count($i/*) unlike pretty much every other xpath or xslt construct, for does not change the current node so ".", relative path expressions, etc all do not work as you might expect: they all stay relative to whatever was the context outside the for. so count(*) is wrong you have to go count($i/*) so the * is relative to the node in the sequence that you are for-ing over. This is destined to overtake "how do I make " as the number one FAQ/problem in this list. Everyone will forget this.
