Subject: Re: paths starting with "//" are invariant? From: "Mark D. Anderson" <mda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 23:09:06 -0800 |
I just figured it out, i think. in the second occurence, i was inside a template which was applied to the result of a xt:node-set call. apparently such results have a different document root, so paths with "//" don't match any more, usage of id() fails, and so on. I can't say this is a bug, since this is a non-standard extension after all. saxon has the same, er, feature. I haven't figured out how to do the equivalent of xt:node-set() with xalan/lotusxsl yet (suggestions anyone?), so i can't say what it does. i can say that result tree fragments continue to ruin my life :). -mda --On Sunday, December 19, 1999 10:35 PM -0800 Ray Waldin <rwaldin@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > "Mark D.
