Kim FordSubject: Dot "." vs. self::node()
Author: Kim Ford
Date: 07 Jul 2010 01:01 AM
I found that my XSL transform wasn't working in a browser.

In checking I found that this line was the problem.

<xsl:for-each select="$invoice_rec/.[count(.|key('lineitems-group', prodCode)[1])=1]">

Apparently, there is a problem with using “.” in the above text. After some Googling and some trial and error, I edited the line to be the below, replacing the “.” with “self::node()”:

<xsl:for-each select="$invoice_rec/self::node()[count(.|key('lineitems-group', prodCode)[1])=1]">

Question: why would Stylus Studio use the "." when it doesn't work in a browser?

Thanks,

Kim

Hi Kim,

It looks like this is a bug according to:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2009-January/msg00036.html

"A predicate may not follow an abbreviated step"

Apparently it is a loophole in the specification.

Which version of Stylus Studio are you using?

Regards,
Rory
