Re: [xsl] Return text contents of most recent non-null sibling.

Hi Richard,

Your predicate just checks whether any of the preceding-sibling rows have a
first column child, you also have to check whether it is empty or not. How
about this, if you can use XPath 2:

<xsl:template match="row">
   <xsl:variable name="heading" select="column[@column eq '1']" />
   <item row="{@row}" name="{
      if ($heading != '')
      then $heading
      else preceding-sibling::row[column[@column eq '1'] !=
''][1]/column[@column eq '1']
     }" value="{column[@column eq '3']}" />
</xsl:template>

You see I also used the @column attribute to locate the correct cell but that
might be unnecessary.

Of course it would be even better to create a function like
my:GetCurrentHeading() to encapsulate the if-then-else stuff.

HTH,

- Michael
