Hi,
Thanks for testing it out.
The inherent problem is that I get a string, and not a node-set,
No. As stated in 2 previous replies, you get a result tree fragment
rather than a node set, or string.
needed by count(). David, ultimately the value in the variable
obtained through value-of is not a node or a node set. Is there a way
you think, I can get the count() fetch me the number of 'dd' elements
using xalan-c processor ?
in xslt 1 you can't directly query into a result tree fragment.
You coud use exslt:nose-set() extension function to turn your result
tree fragment into a node set (note if $a were a string you could not
use exslt:node-set) however most likely you do not need to create the
result tree fragment in the first place.
If you use xsl:variable with select rather than with element content it
binds the value selected rather than a result tree fragment with copies
of the original nodes.
<xsl;variable name="a" select="//dd"/>
then £a is a node set of dd nodes and count($a) will tell you how many
dd there are in the set.
