Hi,

Yeah, I'm using XSLTransform class of .NET framework.

My inputXSL:
<xsl:template match="//a[img[contains(@src,'cancel')]]" priority="1"/>
	<xsl:template
match="input[@value='go'][preceding-sibling::a[position()=1][contains(im
g/@src,'cancel')]]">
		<xsl:copy>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
			<xsl:attribute
name="type">Submit</xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:attribute
name="value">Cancel</xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()"/>
		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>
<!--Default Copy template -->
	<xsl:template match="*|text()|@*">
		<xsl:copy>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()|@*"/>
		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>

InputXML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html><body>		
<table bgcolor="#336699" width="98%" border="0" cellpadding="2"
cellspacing="0" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<tbody><tr>
<td align="right" fr_option="dynamic" fr_cands="1077;1083;">
<a href="http://10.0.3.214:8080"; onmouseover="" onmouseout="">
<img src="http://myprod.concureworkplace.com/ewp/Images/entrycancel.gif";
alt="Cancel" border="0" title="Cancel"/>
</a>
<input type="submit" name="fr_onclick_5000000012501_fr_cands_1077;1083;"
value="go"/>
</td></tr></tbody></table></body></html>

And the problem is that in .NET above template doesn't match. 

Thanks,
Animesh

Hi Animesh,

Do you use the XslTransform?

Then you say:
> When I remove position() from Xpath above, it works.

So what's the problem then? Just kidding, I guess you still have a
problem,
just send in some representative XML, your XSL, and what output you
need.
We'll be able to help you better.

I have found this MS-KB article, it may not apply to your expression,
cause
you're not using postion() as a function parameter, but still it may
well be
a (another) bug:

HTH,
<prs/>

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this problem belongs to this group or not. 
But I'm facing very peculiar problem in .Net (version 1.1) environment.

Following XSL works with MSXML4 but NOT with .Net XSL translator:

<xsl:template
match="//input[@value='go'][preceding-sibling::a[position()=1][contains(
img/@src,'cancel')]]">

<--Do Some operation>

</xsl:template>

When I remove position() from Xpath above, it works.
I'm unable to figure out the problem. If anyone knows the solution, do
let
me know.

Thanks,
Animesh
