Subject: Selecting nodes that have an attribute From: Garrett Coakley <gc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 17:30:26 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) |
Hi all, I'm trying to select a series of nodes, only if they have a certain attribute (called yearend). This is a snippet of the XML <ESTIMATES> <ESTIMATE> <ANNUALFORECAST yearend="12/1999F"> <ESTIMATEDATA> <SALES name="Sales">25</SALES> </ESTIMATEDATA> </ANNUALFORECAST> <ANNUALFORECAST yearend="12/2000F"> <ESTIMATEDATA> <SALES name="Sales">27</SALES> </ESTIMATEDATA> </ANNUALFORECAST> </ESTIMATE> <ESTIMATE> <ANNUALFORECAST> <ESTIMATEDATA> <SALES>25</SALES> </ESTIMATEDATA> </ANNUALFORECAST> <ANNUALFORECAST> <ESTIMATEDATA> <SALES>27</SALES> </ESTIMATEDATA> </ANNUALFORECAST> </ESTIMATE> </ESTIMATES> And this is the XSL: <xsl:template match="ESTIMATES"> <xsl:for-each select="ESTIMATE/ANNUALFORECAST[@yearend]"> <TD COLSPAN="5"> <xsl:value-of select="@yearend"/> </TD> </xsl:for-each> I thought that the 'for-each' I have on the second line would only select ANNUALFORECAST where it had a yearend attribute, but the HTML that is being produced has a number of extra (empty) table cells. Which funnily enough corresponds to the total amount of ANNUALFORECAST's in the branch. I've been banging my head against this problem for a couple of days now, and it's got to the stage where I probably couldn't see the right answer if it landed on my desk in a gold sequinned ballgown. Have I seriously missed something in the XSLT spec? Thanks for any help or pointers. Garrett. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Garrett Coakley | "A man's friendships are one of Design Engineer | the best measures of his worth." www.community.co.uk | Charles Darwin XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
