Subject: RE: Re: [xsl] Template matching preceding-sibling. From: cknell@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2007 13:26:24 -0500 |
No need to apologize. Yes, the first <Rec> is the preceding-sibling of the second <Rec>, but that's not what your XPath expression tests. Please re-read my response. Your expression tests to find a <Rec> element whose child <activity> doesn't have a preceding-sibling <Rec>. Since neither of the <activity> elements has any siblings of any kind, your expression matches them both. Perhaps you want this one, instead: Rec[not(preceding-sibling()=Rec)] I'm not at my regular computer, so I can't test the expression, but I can eyeball yours and tell that it isn't what you think it is. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email -----Original Message----- From: Steve <subsume@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 13:16:42 -0500 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Template matching preceding-sibling.
