Selva,
You'd have a better chance of getting a response if your code was nicely
laid out so that people could read it. Also, using literal result elements
rather than xsl:element and xsl:attribute greatly helps readability.
In your input, the <div class='LegPrelims'> is a child of the <div
class='DocContainer'>, it is not a following sibling.
xsl:when test="(starts-with(p, 'Laid'))" tests whether the first child p
element starts with Laid. If you want to test whether ANY child p element
starts with Laid, use test="p[starts-with(., 'Laid')".

Subject: [xsl] How to use following-sibling & starts-with
function in xsl
Hi All,
I heartly appreciate.
I have 3 question:
1. following-sibling function not working in the "si -
docid" attribute
2. starts-with function not working in "laid" element
3. choose method want correct (I need single dates
element) in my xsl
repeated the <dates>
This is my XSL:
<xsl:template match="div[(_at_)class='DocContainer']">
<xsl:element name="si">
<xsl:attribute name="docid"><xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::div[(_at_)class
='LegPrelims']/h1[(_at_)class = 'LegNo'][1]" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="type"><xsl:text>reg</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates></xsl:element></xsl
:template>
<xsl:template match="title"/>
<xsl:template match="style"/>
<xsl:template match="div[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegPrelims']]">
<si-begin>
<xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates>
</si-begin>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="h1">
<xsl:element name="si-nos" >
<xsl:element name="si-year" ><xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(., ' ')"/></xsl:element>
<si-no><xsl:value-of select="substring-after(., '.
')"/></si-no></xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template
match="div[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegDate']]"> <dates> <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="p='Made'"> <xsl:element
name="made"><xsl:attribute name="date"> <xsl:value-of
select="p[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegDateDate']]"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of
select="p[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegDateText']]"/></xsl:element></xsl:when>
<!--<xsl:when test="(starts-with(p, 'Laid'))">--> <xsl:when
test="p='Laid before Parliament'"> <xsl:element
name="laid"><xsl:attribute name="date"> <xsl:value-of
select="p[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegDateDate']]"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of
select="p[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegDateText']]"/></xsl:element></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="in-force"><xsl:element
name="in-force-text"><xsl:attribute name="date">
<xsl:value-of select="p[(_at_)class ='LegDateDate']"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of
select="p[(_at_)class[(_dot_)='LegDateText']]"/></xsl:element></xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</dates>
</xsl:template>
This my input:
<div id="ContentMain"><div class="DocContainer"><div
class="LegPrelims">
<h1 class="LegNo">2009 No. 1023</h1>
<p class="LegSubject">Excise</p>
<h1 class="LegTitle">The Excise </h1>
<div class="LegDate">
<p class="LegDateText">Made</p><p class="LegDateDate">22nd
April 2009</p> </div> <div class="LegDate"> <p
class="LegDateText">Laid before Parliament</p><p
class="LegDateDate">22nd April 2009</p> </div> <div
class="LegDate"> <p class="LegDateText">Coming into
force</p><p class="LegDateDate">1st June 2009</p> </div> .
</div> </div> </div>
This is expected output
<si docid="s2009no815" type="reg">
<si-begin>
<si-nos>
<si-year>2009</si-year>
<si-no>815</si-no>
</si-nos>
<subject>
<subject-text>EXCISE</subject-text>
</subject>
<ti al="c">The Excise</ti>
<dates>
<made date="20090422">Made</made>
<laid date="20090422">Laid before Parliament</laid> <in-force
date="20090601"><in-force-text>Coming into
force</in-force-text> </in-force> </dates> . </si-begin> </si>
Thanks,
Selva
