Subject: RE: [xsl] container list display problem From: "Loren Scherbak" <ScherbakL@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 17:42:52 -0400 |
Michael, I am sure I'm doing this wrong as I am a newbie at coding XSL. I am trying to find if the parent of the container ― the parent of the <did> that houses the <container> tag ― also has the same container number. So if the subseries ends and another series starts, but they are both microfilmed on the same reel, then the reel number is not repeated. How do I test that in XSL? I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. Thanks very much for responding so quickly. I am really amazed at the generosity of people on this list to help even newbies like me.

A node has exactly one parent so the predicate [last()] is always true. You obviously don't want to select the "last parent" because there is only one. Perhaps you want to test whether the parent is the last child of its own parent? In that case the condition would be parent[not(following-sibling::*)].
