RE: [xsl] What's wrong with my ancestor syntax?

2007-03-27 08:08:14
which is the  xpath I posted previously isn't it?

<xsl:variable name="$pageID" select="938"/>

      <xsl:for-each select="//menuItem[pageID =  
$pageID]/descendant-or-self::menuItem"> 

Umm...apparently the xpath you posted previously that I missed. ;o)

YES! That works, though I don't quite understand the syntax.

I think it says:

Select any menuItem (//menuItem)
That has a pageID of x ([pageID = $pageID])
And is or is a descendant of said page (/descendant-or-self::menuItem)

Did I get that about right? It's the last part that I don't fully
understand.
