[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] finding lowest level in ancestor:: axis
 So I have a document that looks like: <div1>
<p>Some text here</p>
<div2>
<p>More text <ref idref="t1'/></p>
<example>
<table id='t1'/>
</example>
</div2>
</div1>I thought the following would work: <template match="ref">
<xsl:variable name="parent"
select="id(@idref)/ancestor::div10 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div9 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div8 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div7 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div6 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div5 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div4 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div3 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div2 |
id(@idref)/ancestor::div1
"/>
<a href="{concat(generate-id($parent), '.html#', @idref)}">
Table <xsl:number level="any" from="div1" count="table" format="1"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</a>
</xsl:template>Instead of finding the first <div2> tag this seems to always locate the highest ancestor in the tree and comes back with the <div1>. I even changed the order of the select for the variable to be high to low and low to high and nothing changed. I though maybe there might be an evaluation order going on. I thought about adding a [1] to each item in the select for the variable but I don't think that changes anything, both the div2 and div1 are the first of that type. I think my only option is to split this select out into a chose statement which would force the order, is there another way to do this instead of: <xsl:variable name="parent">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="id(@idref)/ancestor::div10">
<xsl:value-of select="id(@idref)/ancestor::div10"/>
</xsl:when>
....
</xsl:choose>
