Subject: [xsl] need position() of second document From: ken.dickerson@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 14:48:21 -0700 |
I am parsing an XML document and referring to information from a second document. From the second document, I need to get some information as well as the position() that I can use now and also later in my XSL. I was first using: <xsl:attribute name="id"> <xsl:for-each select="document($controls)//*"> <xsl:if test="name()=$tag"> <xsl:value-of select="position()-1"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:attribute> I want to also create a variable that contains the position so I can use it as an index later when some additional information is needed (so I won't have to search the second file again - speed issues). The $controls file has unique strings I am thinking about replacing the above with something like this (I like this approach better so I don't have to take the time to walk through every element of $control just to find a single unique node): <xsl:variable name="str" select="document($controls)//*[name()=$tag]"/> <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> and then using the pos for the attribute id (i.e. <TABLE id="{$pos}"...> ) I could then use the pos as an index later (i.e. "item[$pos]" ). Essentially, I need to get (from the $control file) the tagName, the node value, and the position() of these items. My question is, how do I reference the $controls document when I need to get the position? The code above returns the position in my first file, not the second document file that I had just referenced. I'm sure this is a simple answer, but I am not finding it in the books and references I have been looking at. Also, later when I need to use the $pos as an index, I will also need to reference the document file. Do I do it like this: <... select="document($controls)//item[$pos]"...> Any help on this is greatly appreciated! - Ken < >< (email: Ken.Dickerson@xxxxxxxxxxx) XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
