Re: Select previous sibling where attribute is not emp

Hi there,

   I am trying to select preceding-sibling::row[1] or
preceding-sibling::row[2] in the following example. Of course '1' or
'2' are hardcoded, and instead I need to express instead " where
entry/@morerows != '' "

Here is my Input.xml:

    <informaltable frame="all">
       <tgroup cols="3.782608695652174"><tbody><row>
             <entry morerows="2">
                <para>Study</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>General Study</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>C.7.2.1</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>M</para>
             </entry>
          </row>
          <row>
             <entry>
                <para>Patient Study</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>C.7.2.2</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>U</para>
             </entry>
          </row>
          <row>
             <entry>
                <para>Clinical Trial Study</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>C.7.2.3</para>
             </entry>
             <entry>
                <para>U</para>
             </entry>
          </row></tbody></tgroup>
    </informaltable>

My current xsl script is:

   <xsl:template match="row">
     <xsl:message>
     <xsl:if test="count(entry) = 3">
       <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::row[entry/@morerows != '' ]"/>
     </xsl:if>
     </xsl:message>
   </xsl:template>

Thanks for suggestions,

I'm not at all clear what your requirement is, if you want the nearest
row that doesn't have an entry with a morerows attribute then that would be
