Subject: Re: [xsl] [Xpath] Finding the *first* preceding sibling From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 15:47:48 +0100 |
> What did I miss in the Xpath specification? That the steps are read left to right. preceding-sibling::blink selects all the preceding-sibling blink nodes so preceding-sibling::blink[1] selects the first of those. So this set is non empty (so true in a boolean test) in exactly the same cases as preceding-sibling::blink namely if there is a preceding-sibling blink node. You want to find the immediately preceding node preceding-sibling::node()[1] then test if it is a blink preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::blink] David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
