Thanks you all I understand it better now. -----Original Message----- From: Wendell Piez [mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 5:24 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RE: apply-templates and excluding a node At 11:48 AM 10/4/01, you wrote: >it is <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::PRFID)]" /> > >What I do not undestand is why "self" why not "child"? Can anyone explain >this? Because the predicate [not(self::PRFID)] is evaluated with respect to the node set selected by *, taking each of those nodes in turn as its context node (and returning only those that test true). Since * has already selected children, you want to check them each on the self:: axis. If you said *[not(child::PRFID)], or the equivalent *[not(PRFID)], you'd get all element children that do not themselves have a PRFID child, as opposed to those that are not them-selves- a PRFID.
