[xsl] XSLT2 xsl:sequence blocking ancestor refs?
Subject: [xsl] XSLT2 xsl:sequence blocking ancestor refs? From: Marshall Schor <msa@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 08:31:43 -0400 |
Using xsl:sequence seems to chop off the ability to reference ancestors of selected nodes. Is this working-as-designed?
Here's a quick demo. In this piece of test code, the variable "b" has no parent, while the variable "a" does:
<xsl:variable name="in"> <e1> <e2> <e3> <e4>yes</e4> </e3> </e2> </e1> </xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="anything_to_get_started">
<xsl:variable name="p" select="$in/e1/e2/e3/e4"/> <xsl:variable name="a" select="$p"/> <xsl:message select="'parent of a'"/> <xsl:message select="$a/parent::node()"/>
<xsl:variable name="b"> <xsl:sequence select="$p"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:message select="'parent of b'"/> <xsl:message select="$b/parent::node()"/>
</xsl:template>
The output using Saxon 8.9
[java] parent of a [java] <e3><e4>yes</e4></e3> [java] parent of b
