Subject: Re: [xsl] Are nodes atomic values? From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 16:23:47 +0100 |
what do you mean by "atomic value" The term isn't used in XPath 1 but in XPath2 it has a defined meaning (and means, essentially all values that are not a node) so the answer to your question for XPath2 at least might be "no". > is there a XPath expr that selects only > > <Menu> > <Name>aaa</Name> > </Menu> No, in XSLT XPath only selects into input trees not result trees and theer is no such node in the input. If you save the result into a temporary tree (either directly in XSLT2, or using an xx:node-set extension in XSLT1) then you could of course select that node from the temporary tree after building the tree with xslt. Gowever I see you mentioned firefox which is one of the few XSLT1 systems not to offer a node-set extension.
