Subject: node-set extension
Author: Drazen Dotlic
Date: 21 Jun 2001 07:04 AM

I am well aware that node-set is not a standard XSLT function. However, because of the nature of (rather strange) data type "result tree fragment" (rtf from now), there is nothing I can do with the rtf. But if I can convert rtf into a nodeset... and normally I can. MS parser supports this, and almost any other parser out there. However, the stylus debugger does not seem to support this, which renders many (complex) XSLT files unusable for debugging. Playing with simple XSLT files is all nice and cool, but I have rather complex stylesheets that heavily use node-set extension. Is there a way to use this extension while debugging?

Hi Drazen,

For Stylus Studio rtf are node-set, here is an example that Minollo
posted 2 weeks ago

.....using MSXML you would loop on all the a's doing:

Using Stylus Studio you do:

Only for some rtf this implicit conversion is done (the ones that are already a part of the stylesheet)... besides, I see no samples that you mention in your post (now I see why, html/xsl/xml code is stripped by this board)??

Anyway, here's what I do (just a sample of real-life code)
'

'

where template "blah" outputs some "ha" nodes. Later on, when I want to reference "ha" nodes using "$example/ha" I get an error that $example is not a node-set (the debugger is right). So I definitely need an (semi-standard) "node-set" extension. Besides from this, I find stylus' debugger quite good (actually, I do not know of any other XSLT debugger out there).

Since the board AGAIN stripped all "HTML" 
code... (I wrote a short XSLT sample that is 
invisible, just like Ivan's examples), I'll 
try again...

The sample should read:

I am becoming desperate... how can one enter XSLT code without being stripped by this board???

Drazen,
can you send us a simple testcase? What you are describing should work
in Stylus Studio (without any need of using the node-set function); if it
doesn't, we need to understand where the problem is.

Thanks,
Minollo

Nope. Look at your posts, nothing is visible... anyways, I'll describe what I am doing. I have enclosed call-template with an variable. Therefore, template emits some nodes that are then (at run time) constituting this variable (which is a rtf). If I try to use something like $example/ha (where example is a variable name and ha are the nodes emitted by the template) debugger correctly complains.

If you select "Options..." in the webboard and ask for "Email
notification", you will be able to ask the webboard to forward you by email
the messages posted on the lists you are interested in. In the emails you
will receive, you won't loose xml content (I've been able to see both
Ivan's and your examples posted earlier on this thread).

This is an annoying behavior of the webboard software we are using; we are
looking into possible solution. In the meanwhile, sorry for the inconvenience.
