I am testing if at position()=last()-2 is A then true and display the value which is A otherwise do nothing. I am pulling xml data using document() function..each document is structured as following <lomp> <location path="..\..\..\..\..\">040202</location> <location path="..\..\..\..\">Socio Acto</location> <location path="..\..\..\">Dossoro</location> <location path="..\..\">A</location> <location path="..\">Mentol</location> <location last="true" path="">Lentils</location> </lomp> But position of A differs in each document. So in the following style sheet, I am displaying the value A, B or C if any of those values are present at last()-2. Any suggestions? Regards, <xsl:variable name="doc_cat"> <xsl:for-each select="cat"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="(position()=last()-2='A') or (position()=last()-2='B') or (position()=last()-2='C')"> <xsl:variable name="doc_cat2"> <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="//lomp/location['$doc_cat2']"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mhk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 03 February 2004 20:58 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Value at position() > <xsl:when test="(position()=last()-2='A') I don't know what you intended this expression to mean, but what it actually does is to test whether position() is equal to (last()-2), which returns true or false; it then compares true or false to the string "A", which is done by converting the string "A" to a boolean (always true) and comparing the two booleans. This means the expression is equivalent to test="position() = last()-2" Michael Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list ______________________________________________________________ This message has been scanned for all viruses by BTnet VirusScreen.
