Subject: [xsl] XPath question From: cknell@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 17:21:54 -0500 |
Every time I think I have a good grasp on XPath, it slips between my fingers. Consider the following XML: <menu> <item title="Vegetables"> <item title="tubers"> <item title="potatoes"> <item>Idaho</item> <item>Maine</item> <item>Russet</item> <item>Yam</item> </item> </item> </item> <item title="Fruits"> <item title="Apples> <item>Fuji</item> <item>Granny Smith</item> <item>Rome</item> </item> <item>Milk</item> </menu> I have an HTML application for which I must flatten out the hierachy of this XML document, yet still maintain a link to the parent element for each child element. To this end I have decided to number each element according to its position in the hierarachy and use a "dot-delimitted" format for each element's id (i.01.03.11). I have struggled in vain today to come up with an XPath expression which would tell me how many elements are on the preceding-sibling axis of the parent of a given node. Can anyone straighten me out on this? Thanks. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
