[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] why is select=".[true()]" bad?
Why is it that a predicate is not allowed when I do something like <xsl:variable name="foo" select=".[@id=1]"/> I mean if the current node has an 'id' attribute numerically equal to the number 1, then $foo will be the current node; otherwise it will be an empty node-set, right? Both SAXON and XT gripe at me for having a predicate after . at all. I can't even say ".[true()]"! What's the deal? I don't see anything in XPath prohibiting this. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
