Hi Folks,
Consider this for-loop which iterates through a sequence. If the
sequence value is a node then apply-templates is called. Otherwise,
the value is output:
<xsl:for-each select="(1, 2, 3)">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". instance of node()">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
When I run Saxon, I get this error message:
Error: Required item type of @select attribute of xsl:apply-templates
is node(); supplied value has item type xs:integer
Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.
. . . . . . . . . .
I'm baffled. Any ideas?
This situation is perfectly clear, and the XSLT processor does the
right thing -- it actually prompts the author of the code that some
never-to-be-reached, therefore useless and confusing code, should be
removed.
