Subject: Re: [xsl] two predicates and position From: Geoff Howard <geoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2003 13:45:25 -0500 |
I am trying to construct an xpath expression which will select the second matching node of a nodelist.
I have: //org[@department='Foo'][2]
I expected that to select all //org nodes where @department = 'Foo' and then give me the second within that set.
however this is behaving as
//org[@department='Foo'/self::node()[position() = 2] which will always be empty.
No, it is actually behaving as
/descendant-or-self::node/(child::org[@department='Foo'][2])
that is, it will select every org that is the second child of its parent that has @department foo.
You probably want (//org)[@department='Foo'][2]
Grateful, Geoff
