RE: Comparing nodes in axis

2004-12-17 10:23:09
As a side question, i tend to make things like

                        <xsl:if test="parent::menu=(//menu)[$pos]">
                            <xsl:text>1</xsl:text>
                        </xsl:if>
                        <xsl:if 
test="not(parent::menu=(//menu)[$pos])">
                            <xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
                        </xsl:if>

Is there any drawback in doing this insted of choose/when/otherwise?

Yes, you're writing more code and the XSLT processor is executing more code.

In fact, assuming you've got the boolean condition right, you could replace
this whole thing by

<xsl:value-of select="number(parent::menu=(//menu)[$pos])"/>
