Re: [xsl] Weired Result of XSLT

Lot of thanks for your nice clue !!! I have written <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> and it is working fine.

Your problem is a FAQ. Maybe this could help clear things up:

In your xsl you are testing if the position() of the contrib element is either = or > 1 however from your example all of the contrib elements have position() greater than one thus the second xsl:if
statement kicks in.

If you want to check, insert this in your template for contrib:

<position><xsl:sequence select="position()"/></posistion>

Try it to check if the position() function returns a value you assume it returns.

Dear Jeff I have removed the CR and got the result but I don't think that this the case. It is working fine with my other XSLTs.

At 02:57 PM 5/22/2007 +0800, you wrote:
The output is correct, you failed to consider the text node inside the contib-group element. In the contrib-group element there are four nodes; the CR before the fisrt contrib element, the first contrib element, the CR before the second contrib element and then the second contrib element. So when the template matches the contrib elements the position returned is 2 and 4 respectively. What you want would be:

count(preceding-sibling::contrib) = 0 ---> would return the first contrib

I hope this helps.
