RE: [xsl] XPath, starts with ?

["Eric Chappuis" <eric dot chappuis at marvel dot ch>]

Thanks for your answer.
I know that those function are implemented in MSXML3, but when I call
them, I get :

msxml3.dll error '80004005'
Unknown method. /ric/fid[-->position()<-- > 1 and starts-with(@id,
'ROW')]
/financepoint/d/pfrp/news/unternehmen/entsum_d.html, line 497

or

msxml3.dll error '80004005'
Unknown method. /ric/fid[index() > 0 and -->starts-with(@<--id, 'ROW')]
/financepoint/d/pfrp/news/unternehmen/entsum_d.html, line 497

Do you know more. ? I have the MSXML3 SP 1 in replace mode. msxml3.dll
version 8.10.8308.0

Hi Eric,

You should use the starts-with() function. Also, there's no index()
function in XSLT - I think that position() (which counts from 1 rather
than 0) probably gives you the same kind of effect.  So you want:

  /ric/fid[position() > 1 and starts-with(@id, 'ROW')]

I hope that helps,

Jeni
