James,
How have you declared $firstDiv?
If it's not a node set, you'll get the error you refer to (since predicate
and step operators can only apply to node sets).
Cheers,
Wendell
At 01:19 PM 4/15/2003, you wrote:
<xsl:if test="$firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*">
...
</xsl:if>
only works if $firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*
returns empty. Otherwise, I get a complaint about
XPath error Invalid type in
$firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*
Nothing I can think of seems to fix this. I tried
using boolean($firstDiv[1]/preceding-sibling::*), but
I still get the Invalid type error.
What's going on?
