Subject: [xsl] Unexpected Context Node at Points in XPath Expression From: "Michael Terry" <formido@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 15:03:03 -0700 |
Unexpected to me, at least. I've been familiarizing myself with XPath for a project by browsing around the Internet with the Firefox extension XPath Checker. On this page: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/A.I. ... I tried the following: id('bodyContent')/h2/following-sibling::*[position()<count(following-sibling::p[1]/preceding-sibling::*) - count(preceding-sibling::*)] ... which I expected to select the 7 ul elements following the specified h2. The next query DOES do that: id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/following-sibling::*[position()<count(id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/following-sibling::p[1]/preceding-sibling::*) - count(id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/preceding-sibling::*)] The stuff I had to add in I had expected was already present as the context node. Why was I wrong? - mt
