XML matches

Dormilich

what a pun........

well, back to my question. can anyone confirm that the match attribute of <xsl:template> chokes on XPaths with conditions, like

Quote:

<xsl:template match="node()[@attr = 'value']">

it's doing that every time I try this (XSLT 1.0). has anyone found an explanation for this?

regards

PS: If you wonder, I have already figured out a workaround for me

? Which processor are you using?
Are you sure the node isn't getting picked up by some other less-generic template?
Since you're looking for a element node, I suggest using
"*[@attr='value']"

processors:
- for a quick test I use FF's transformiix or the "get XSL result" addon
- developer server is Mac 10.5.5 / apache 2.2.10 / libxml 2.7.2 / libxslt 1.1.24 / php 5.2.6
- production server is linux / apache / php 5.2.6 / libxml 2.6.31 / libxslt 1.1.21 (-> libxml 2.6.28)

node() was just a placeholder, I have the element's xpath there.

this problem arises if I want to pick up one single element only, like

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 // xml headers

<xsl:stylesheet [...]>

// xsl processing options
 
<xsl:template match="//element[@attr = 'value']">

// this is the only template

// do frenzy stuff with the node

</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

FF gives an "invalid xpath" error

Still having problems recreating it. Using xml:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>

<!-- this is a test document -->

<document>

    <!-- test comment -->

    <x name="value">x</x>

    <y name="value">y</y>

    <z name="value">z</z>

    <abc>

        <def>def</def>

    </abc>

    <z noname="z">p</z>

    <z name="q">q</z>

</document>

xsl:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <!-- set the output properties -->

    <xsl:output method="html"/>

    <xsl:template match="/*">

        <html>

            <head/>

            <body>

                <xsl:apply-templates/>

            </body>

        </html>

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*">

        <div>

    <xsl:value-of select="'text'"/>

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

        </div>

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="//z[@name='value']">

    <div>

    <xsl:value-of select="'found element'"/>

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

    </div>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Does this produce the error on your side?
