Mac,
This one is
test="not(@result) and descendant::*[(_at_)task = $taskNumber]"
Not so bad, eh?
The not() function requires a Boolean argument. The XPath "@result" returns
a node set of one node (the context node's @result attribute) or none (if
there is no @result attribute); coerced to a Boolean these are true and
false respectively; not() inverts it.
Cheers,
Wendell

Hi-
I need to check if there are ancestor element nodes of an element node
which contains @task=$taskNumber, so I have:
<xsl:when test="descendant::*[(_at_)task = $taskNumber]">
... do something
</xsl:when>
...no problem so far...but I also want to make sure that this ancestor
element node does not have an @result attribute. I can't figure out how
to do that. Can someone please help? Thanks-
