Subject: Re: [xsl] XPath using descendant and negative matching From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2003 15:38:26 GMT |
<xsl:template match="*[descendant::*/Partners]"> that matches all elements that have a descendent that has a Partners child, note it doesn't match elements that have a Partners child (unless that Partners itself has a Partners descendant) You probably just want to match elements that have a Partners child *[Partners] or elements that have a Partners descendant *[.//Partners] although note that any use of // is potentially expensive. <xsl:template match="*[descendant::*/[not Partners]]"> not() is a function so takes () like all otherf unctions <xsl:template match="*[descendant::*/[not(Partners)]]"> matches any element that has a descendent that is not a Partners which is almost certainly not what you want. Assuming you want one of teh above, teh negation is *[not(Partners)] or *[not(.//Partners)] or more simply, just * as a match="*" has lower priority than match="*[Partners]" so will only be used in teh "other" case.
