Hi
I have an xml file which has got a CDATA in it for eg:
<parent>
<child>.... </child>
< ! [ CDATA[ hi how r u .....]]>
</parent>
so from my xsl i want to access the content of the CDATA
ie .. i how do i do that ie
<xsl:template match="Parent">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
i want the CDATA value here
so how do i do that
mukund
<xsl:value-of select="text()"/> will return the text of the
parent element,
without including the text of the <child> element.
That will select only whitespace. Instead use.
<xsl:value-of select="text()[position() = last()]"/>
This however, also selects the line feeds after the child element and the last
line feed inside parent; the XPath datamodel will not retain the CDATA section,
but rather has a text node for it, with immediately preceding and following
text nodes concatenated.
In this context <xsl:value-of select="."/> is equivalent to:
<xsl:value-of select=".//text()"
Again, that would select whitespace.
Cheers,
