Subject: RE: [xsl] Cannot select a node here: the context item is an atomic value From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2005 18:28:51 +0100 |
You'll need to set a variable outside the outer loop, and in the inner loop do something like <xsl:for-each select="$s/my/xpath/query[@day=$day]"> In fact, you might as well select the whole path in the variable and just use <xsl:for-each select="$s[@day=$day]"> I would tend to use .-1 rather than position()-1, but the effect is the same. Actually, I would probably not build the duration from a string, but rather from: <xsl:variable name="one-day" select="xs:dayTimeDuration('P1D')"/> (global variable) then in the loop: <xsl:variable name="day" select=". * $one-day"/> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: chris [mailto:oneskiingfool@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 05 April 2005 18:11 > To: xslt > Subject: [xsl] Cannot select a node here: the context item is > an atomic value > > Hello, > I'm using XSLT/XPath 2.0 and am stuck on a very basic problem again. > All I want to do is nest my for-each loop inside another loop so that > the inner for-each loops executes x number of times. > To be more specific, I'm creating an HTML table with dates running > down the left column and corresponding values in the rest of the > cells. > So I have date range: $date1 to $date2 > I calculated the number of days between the two: $dayCount > > <xsl:for-each select="1 to $dayCount"> > <xsl:variable name="day" select="($date1+ > xdt:dayTimeDuration(concat('P',position()-1,'D')))"/> > <tr> > <td> > <xsl:value-of > select="format-dateTime($day,'[Y,*-2]-[M,2]-[D,2]')"/> > </td> > <xsl:for-each select="my/xpath/query[@day=$day]"> > <td> > <xsl:value-of select="."/> > </td> > </xsl:for-each> > </tr> > </xsl:for-each> > > > The inner loop gives me this error: > Cannot select a node here: the context item is an atomic value > > Could somebody kindly let me know how to do this?
