Subject: AW: [xsl] Finding immediately preceding node. From: Markus Abt <abt@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 19:17:34 +0200 |
Hi Betty, your test is wrong. "Inside" b, i.e. in a template for c, try: <xsl:if test="parent::b[@name='cde']/preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc'"> The expression //c/../b[@name='cde']/preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc' is true, because your XML is maybe not what you wanted: The first c element is not inside the first b element, which is empty. Thus, //c/.. takes you to the a element and all but the first b elements. >From the a element, the part /b[@name=...] takes you to the 4th b...

Juni 2003 15:56 An: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [xsl] Finding immediately preceding node. I have been struggling with this problem and I can't seem to get the XPath to work. I have looked through the archive and can't seem to find the answer. I want to get the a true when I am inside <b name="cde"> and the preceding <b> contains the attribute 'name="abc"'. <?xml version="1.0"?> <a> <b name="abc"/> <c/> <b> <c/> </b> <b name="abc"> <c/> </b> <b name="cde"> <c/> </b> <b> <c/> </b> <b> <c/> </b> <b name="abc"> <c/> </b> </a> The following XPath gives a value of true in 'XPathTester': //c/../b[@name='cde']/preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc' I have the following in my xslt but never get a 'true': <xsl:if test="../b[@name='cde']/preceding-sibling::b[1]/@name='abc'"> Thanks!
