RE: RE: A simple solution (Was: Re: One for tomorrow :

So why isn't it working for me?

How can following-sibling::*[not(substring(.,string-length(.))=',')][4] not
return just the forth node, but all nodes?

I'm confused :-(

And I just love those font tags. I even use upper case HTML tags!!! hah hah.
If I removed my font tags, I'd have to use that terribly unreliable css :-)
There are users out there still using Netscape you know.

Cheers David,

Daniel

  I'm using
  <xsl:value-of

select="following-sibling::*[not(substring(.,string-length(.))=',')][positio
  n()=4]" />

  To hopefully retrieve 12 POINT STREET,


[position()=4] (or equivalently [4]) would select the 4th node that was
in the list generated by
following-sibling::*[not(substring(.,string-length(.))=',')]
ie the 4th sibling (just counting those not ending with a comma)

(by the way are you sure you really want to polute your generated HTML
with all those <font> elements, they are deprecated in HTML4 and XHTML)
