[xsl] What's wrong with my ancestor syntax?
Subject: [xsl] What's wrong with my ancestor syntax? From: "Austin, Darrel" <Darrel.Austin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 16:58:43 -0500 |
I'm trying to use ancestor-or-self. Here's a sample of the XML: <menuItems> <menuItem> <pageID>938</pageID> <browserTitle>Home Page</browserTitle> <lastUpdate>2006/06/12</lastUpdate> <menuItem> <pageID>998</pageID> <browserTitle>District Administration</browserTitle> <lastUpdate>2006/06/06</lastUpdate> </menuItem> </menuItem> <menuItems> This is the XML that forms our site menu. I want to create an RSS feed that lists the most recent 10 pages that have been changed under a certain node of the menu. So, for this example, I want to pass in the page ID of '938' and return both '938' and any child page underneath it. Here's the XSL: <xsl:param name="pageID">1</xsl:param> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="*/menuItem[ancestor-or-self::pageID = $pageID]"> <xsl:sort select="substring(@lastUpdate,1,4)" order="descending" /> <!-- year --> <xsl:sort select="substring(@lastUpdate,6,2)" order="descending" /> <!-- month --> <xsl:sort select="substring(@lastUpdate,9,2)" order="descending" /> <!-- day --> <xsl:call-template name="createItem" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="createItem"> lastUpdate: <xsl:value-of select="lastUpdate"/> browserTitle: <xsl:value-of select="browserTitle"/> pageID: <xsl:value-of select="pageID"/> </xsl:template> Originally, I had 'descendant-or-self' by mistake which obviously gave me the exact opposite of what I wanted and returned the specific node and all PARENT pages that matched. So I changed to ancestor-or-self and now it doesn't appear to match anything. I'm not sure why. Is my logic a bit off? -Darrel
