Subject: Re: [xsl] Test for node name and attribute value From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 12:01:42 GMT |
I am stuck with the following node set expression. In an external document I want to find the element which name is 'anchor' and which attribute @name has the value of the variable $anchor. If I understand you correctkly you just want <xsl:variable name="anchor-node"select="$external-doc//anchor[@name=$anchor]"/> I in your code fragments you seem to have switched to looking for name my-anchor rather than anchor. 3 <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//node()[name() = 'my-anchor' and @name = $anchor]" /> that is legal but there is no need to select all nodes withg node() then filter out those with name my-anchor, you could just do 3 <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//my-anchor[@name = $anchor]" /> which is more or less as above. <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//node()[name() = 'my-anchor' and @name = @anchor]" /> or <xsl:variable name="anchor-node" select="$external-doc//my-anchor[@name = @anchor]" /> is also legal but tests the anchor attribute of the my-anchor element in $external-doc is equal to the name attribute on the smae element.
