Re: [xsl] An XPath expression that avoids writing special casecode?

Hi Martin,

I tried your suggestion. For this XML document:

<Document>
    <Row>
        <Cell>
            <Data>aviation</Data>
        </Cell>
        <Cell/>
    </Row>
</Document>

I used Oxygen XML to evaluate this XPath expression on the XML document:

/Document/Row[Cell[1]/Data eq 'aviation'][Cell[2]/Data = '']

Oxygen XML reported:

	The XPath query returned no results.

Thoughts?

/Roger

I think using = helps:


<xsl:sequence select="$document/Row[Cell[1]/Data eq $element][Cell[2]/Data =
$parent]" />
