Subject: RE: [xsl] name() of root element From: "Bryan Archer" <barcher@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2003 16:42:53 +0100 |
name() is a function, which takes an optional parameter containing the required node. Try: <xsl:template match="/" > <xsl:value-of select="name(*)" /> </xsl:template> Bryan -----Original Message----- From: joseph.a.gilvary@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:joseph.a.gilvary@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 01 April 2003 16:30 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] name() of root element Why does this not select the name of the root *element* but instead gives me the text value of that element, i.e., the concatenated text values of every element in my document? <xsl:template match="/" > <xsl:value-of select="(/node()[1])[name()]" /> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> I've tried Xalan 2.5 D1, and Saxon 6.5.2 with the same result. Since they agree, I probably misunderstand what's going on. When I try select="/name()" (and variations thereof) I get error messages from the xsl processor.
