Subject: RE: [xsl] Accessing data from repeating values with the same name From: "Josh Canfield" <Josh.Canfield@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 11:04:36 -0800 |
Why is //Data/Item[position()=3] better than /Data/Item[position()=3] ? // is a shortcut for /descendant-or-self::node()/ and in this case it appears that you specifically want only the single Data node. In a bigger/deeper piece of XML doesn't using the // require that the XSLT engine traverse the entire tree from the context node looking for Data nodes that have an Item node at position 3? Whereas using /Data only looks for the root node, and /Data/Item looks specifically for the Item nodes that are a child of the root Data node. Also, is there opposition to using the short form /Data/Item[3] ?
