Re: node() as pattern


Dave,

Are you accounting for those pesky whitespace-only text nodes?

Cheers,
Wendell

I'm having a problem understanding the use of node() in a pattern.

given a simple file (pretend no whitespace)

<doc>
  <nd1> ..</nd1>
    <nd2>..</nd2>
    <nd3/>
  </nd1>
</doc>

I believe I can get to any node using a node based pattern,

e.g. <xsl:template match='/node()[1]/node()[2]'>
should match on nd3

but my theory isn't working out.
