RE: [xsl] value-of select problem
Subject: RE: [xsl] value-of select problem From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 23:54:44 +0100 |
It's similar to another thread today called "Wrapping Problem" - usually called positional grouping. Try following-sibling::*[self::Mname|self::Lname][1][self::Mname] That's the first following sibling that's an Mname or an Lname, provided it's an Mname.
