I want to select all the child <DATA> elements of a <COL> except for the first
one. I've tried several different things but I must be missing something
stupidly obvious since it isn't working.
Input data:
<ROW>
<COL><DATA></DATA></COL>
<COL><DATA>Adult Education Audio and Video Collection</DATA></COL>
<COL>
<DATA>SULF</DATA>
<DATA>Bird</DATA>
<DATA>Bird</DATA>
<DATA>Hawkins</DATA>
<COL>
<COL>
<DATA></DATA>
<DATA>24:F:4</DATA>
<DATA>36:G:5-7</DATA>
<DATA>234:A:1-5</DATA>
<COL>
<COL>
<DATA>Box 1-22</DATA>
<DATA>Adds, 3 boxes</DATA>
<DATA>Box 23-45</DATA>
<DATA>Oversize items</DATA>
<COL>
</ROW>
In my XSL:
<xsl:for-each select="fmp:COL[3]/fmp:DATA[position() > 1]">
<xsl:variable name="parent-position" select="position()" />
<xsl:value-of select="../../fmp:COL[3]/fmp:DATA[$parent-position]"/>
<xsl:value-of select="../../fmp:COL[4]/fmp:DATA[$parent-position]"/>
<xsl:value-of select="../../fmp:COL[5]/fmp:DATA[$parent-position]"/>
</xsl:for-each>
Expected output:
Bird 24:F:4 Adds, 3 boxes
Bird 36:G:5-7 Box 23-45
Hawkins 234:A:1-5 Oversize items
Actual output:
SULF Box 1-22
Bird 24:F:4 Adds, 3 boxes
Bird 36:G:5-7 Box 23-45
Hawkins 234:A:1-5 Oversize items
I also tried just getting all the <DATA> elements and then testing the position:
<xsl:for-each select="fmp:COL[3]/fmp:DATA">
<xsl:if test="position() > 1" />
But that gave the same results. Just to be sure I wasn't crazy, I added an
<xsl:value-of> statement to spit out the value of position() at each point, and
I see exactly what I expect there (1, 2, 3, 4). What am I missing?
