Subject: [xsl] Distinguishing the root node of a node-set From: <sthomas2@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2007 16:37:16 -0500 |
This might win a prize for silly questions, but my brain has been exhausted by it (and I can't locate an answer in the voluminous FAQ). Apologies in advance. XSLT 1 (Saxon6.5.5 to be precise) I have a variable that contains a node-set. (It was populated with via select). I need to identify the root node of the variable's contents. For example, the variable var may contain <root1><child/></root1> In other words, test="$var/child" returns true. I'd like to test whether the variable is indeed a <root1> (instead of, for example a <root2>). The closest I've come is <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="name($var)='root1'"> <!-- do something --> </xsl:when> <!-- other options --> </xsl:choose> This works when namespaces aren't involved, but once namespaces come into play there's a problem. If the input document uses a different namespace prefix than the stylesheet, then the test won't work. (Which is probably pretty obvious for most folks reading this list.) Surely there is a really simple, obvious way to construct the test I need; I'm just too dense to figure it out. TIA, Stephen
