Re: [xsl] [string to node]

[Aditya Sakhuja <aditya.sakhuja@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

So, my objective is to get the count() function to count the number of
'dd' elements.

test.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="a">
   <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="1=1">
         <xsl:value-of select="//dd"/>
    </xsl:when>
   </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:value-of select="count($a)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


test.xml

<a>
<dd/>
<dd/>
<dd/>
</a>

Cheers!
Aditya
