Here's a snippet from an XSL style sheet:
<xsl:template name="display_section">
<xsl:param name="section_legislators"/>
<tr><td colspan="4">Count section_legislators:<xsl:value-of
select="count($section_legislators)"/></td></tr>
<xsl:variable name="sorted_legislators">
<xsl:for-each select="$section_legislators">
<xsl:sort select="district_type" />
<xsl:sort select="district_no"
data-type="number" />
<xsl:sort select="legislator_active_date"
data-type="number" order="descending" />
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<tr><td colspan="4">Count sorted_legislators: <xsl:value-of
select="count(msxsl:node-set($sorted_legislators))"/></td></tr>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Param "section_legislators" is a node-list consisting of many
"legislator" nodes - each legislator node has several child nodes like
"full_name", "district_type", etc.
I put in the <tr> tag displaying Count section_legislators to ensure
that "section_legislators" is really a node list. That <tr> displays a
row saying that there are 243 for a count of section_legislators. But,
the <tr> displaying the count of sorted_legislators shows only 1.
I'm sure my for-each select is incorrect for variable
"sorted_legislators". I want *all* legislator nodes in
"section_legislators" to be in "sorted_legislators" - just sorted. What
should my "select" in the for-each be for "sorted_legislators"?
Thanks.
