RE: id() pattern

2003-03-28 12:35:23
My file structure is as follows.

<yy id="test">
     <xx yyy="184"/>
</yy>
<yy id="test2">
     <xx yyy="185"/>
</yy>

Then <xsl:value-of select="id('test')/xx"/> should output "" (the
content of element xx), and <xsl:value-of select="id('test')/xx/@yyy"/>
should output "184".

<xsl:attribute name="path"><xsl:value-of select="id('test')/xx"/></ 
xsl:attribute>

<xsl:attribute name="path"><xsl:value-of 
select="id('test')/xx/@yyy"/></ xsl:attribute>

Am I doing something incorrect?

well the xpath's you state are valid xpath's but whether or 
not they should generate any non empty string as a result 
depends on the input document...

they should work if yy has an id attribute of type ID 
attribute and your input looks like

<yy id="test">
  <xx yyy="foo">bar</xx>
</yy>


you should get path="bar" and path="foo"  respectively.
