Re: building path expressions around dynamic element n

Hi,
           You can use the name() or the local-name() function to check if
the node name equals something. Thus if you want to check if the context
node is 'Dynamic1' you can use

<xsl:if test="name(.) = 'Dynamic1' ">

<!-- do some processing here -->

</xsl:if>


On first look, it appears that you have to make 2 passes, first to
aggregate the nodes you want and then to
select the nodes. This can be done using modes.

Hi

I have an xml file with some dynamic element node names such as below:

<Top>
    <Dynamic1>
          <A>
                <Class id="123">Dynamic1</Class>
         </A>
          <B>
                <Class id="897">Not Present</Class>
          </B>
    </Dynamic1>
    <Dynamic2>
          <A>
                <Class id="567">Dynamic2</Class>
         </A>
          <B>
                <Class id="908">Car</Class>
          </B>
    </Dynamic2>
</Top>

I have  a for-loop that extracts all the node fragments where
B/Class[.='Not Present']. What I then want to do is access all the
dynamic element nodes such as '<Dynamic1>', '<Dynamic2>', etc. (which is
the same as the <Class> text() of the <A> node). How can I do this?

Also, (I know Ive read this somewhere but cant find it now) how can I
match an element name with some value i.e. how can I carry out an
operation such that Top/{next element name}='Dynamic1' ?

Thanks for all help.
Rahil
