Subject: RE: [xsl] Using position predicate in XPath string within selectSingleNode DOM method From: "Matthieu Ricaud" <matthieu.ricaud@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2004 15:22:50 +0100 |
Last post on this subject which may not interrest everybody on the list since it's not a pure xsl problem but more DOM and manipulation of XML files. So I've learnt the reason why Xpath expression is not always understood within selectSingleNode DOM Method. Just because, despite the msdn spec I found (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm l/xmmthselectsinglenode.asp) describing this method, the language supported is not Xpath by default, but rather a strange "XSLPattern" (the default language obviously depends on the parser progID). To be sure Xpath querys are understood, we must specifie it : ObjXML.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath" That's all subject closed !

At the moment I was going to tell you what ITEM[1] return, I noticed it returns the SECOND <ITEM> node and not the FIRST ! And actually this is the solution of my problem ! With SelectSingleNode Method the Xpath position indice starts at 0 and not 1 like in XSL's Xpath query. That means for example : SelectSingleNode("/FORMATION[0]/EPREUVES[0]/EPREUVEAOPT[1]/OPTION[0]") select the same node as : <xsl:for-each select="/FORMATION[1]/EPREUVES[1]/EPREUVEAOPT[2]/OPTION[1]"> Everything's ok now ! exept that I'm really angry with Microsoft which did not specify this in the msdn ! But anyway, that's great !! thanks all for helping ! Matt
