Alan,
At 04:52 PM 2/2/2005, you wrote:
<document>
<bundle>
<component name="foo"/>
<bundle>
<component name="foo"/>
<target name="foo"/>
</bundle>
</bundle>
</document>
Given this XSLT:
<xsl:template match="/document//target">
<xsl:apply-tempaltes
select="ancestor::bundle/component[(_at_)name = current()/@name]"/>
</xsl:template>
How do I select just the first ancestor component?
Will this work?
ancestor::bundle/component[(_at_)name = current()/@name and position() =
1]
Or does that refer to the position of component as a child of
bundle, therefore matching both components.
The latter.
You can get what you want by grouping all the components and then filtering
from the group, instead of filtering only on the XPath step:
(ancestor::bundle/component[(_at_)name = current()/@name])[1]
By "first" I assume you mean "first in document order".
Cheers,
Wendell
