Re: Using a keys to filter based on [not(someelement)]

2005-08-07 14:21:33
Grouping seems pretty easy when defining keys that are inclusive such as:

<xsl:key name="recordByC" match="Record" use="CodeId"/>
<xsl:variable name="uh2" select="key('recordByC','30DAYPM')"/>

but what about using a key to exclude a Record based on a certain
element.  That is, I want to ignore all Records when a <Fodder/>
element is present.

Is using the predicate after the key is resolved the only method:

<xsl:variable name="uh2" select="key('recordByC','30DAYPM')[not(Fodder)]"/>

is there anyway that I can define this within the use attribute of the key?

Wouldn't it go in the match? eg:

<xsl:key name="recordByC" match="Record[not(Fodder)]" use="CodeId"/>

Only Record elements without Fodder children would then exist in the key.
