Sorry Animesh, the following

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

Should appear separately:

<xsl:template match="a[img[contains(@src,'cancel')]]" priority="1"/> 

. . .

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

Don't know why whitespace in code is stripped when posting messages... no
need to do that IMO...

Cheers,
<prs/>

Animesh, you mean the second template doesn't make a match in .NET, right?

And, I would like to see what you get using MSXML vs. XslTransform (both
output). 
Could you please post that?

BTW, like David C. comments, you can reduce your xpaths to:

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

Does that help?

Cheers,
<prs/>

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
