    XML matches

    what a pun........

    well, back to my question. can anyone confirm that the match attribute of <xsl:template > chokes on XPaths with conditions, like
    <xsl:template match="node()[@attr = 'value']">
    it's doing that every time I try this (XSLT 1.0). has anyone found an explanation for this?

    regards

    PS: If you wonder, I have already figured out a workaround for me

      ? Which processor are you using?
      Are you sure the node isn't getting picked up by some other less-generic template?
      Since you're looking for a element node, I suggest using
      "*[@attr='value']"

          processors:
          - for a quick test I use FF's transformiix or the "get XSL result" addon
          - developer server is Mac 10.5.5 / apache 2.2.10 / libxml 2.7.2 / libxslt 1.1.24 / php 5.2.6
          - production server is linux / apache / php 5.2.6 / libxml 2.6.31 / libxslt 1.1.21 (-> libxml 2.6.28)

          node() was just a placeholder, I have the element's xpath there.

          this problem arises if I want to pick up one single element only, like
          Code:
          // xml headers
<xsl:stylesheet [...]>
// xsl processing options

<xsl:template match="//element[@attr = 'value']">
// this is the only template
// do frenzy stuff with the node
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
          FF gives an "invalid xpath" error

              Still having problems recreating it. Using xml:
              [code=xml]
              <?xml version="1.0"?>
              <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl" ?>
              <!-- this is a test document -->
              <document>
              <!-- test comment -->
              <x name="value">x</x>
              <y name="value">y</y>
              <z name="value">z</z>
              <abc>
              <def>def</def>
              </abc>
              <z noname="z">p</z>
              <z name="q">q</z>
              </document>
              [/code]

              xsl:
              [code=xml]
              <xsl:styleshe et version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
              <!-- set the output properties -->
              <xsl:output method="html"/>
              <xsl:template match="/*">
              <html>
              <head/>
              <body>
              <xsl:apply-templates/>
              </body>
              </html>
              </xsl:template>
              <xsl:template match="*">
              <div>
              <xsl:value-of select="'text'"/>
              <xsl:apply-templates/>
              </div>
              </xsl:template>
              <xsl:template match="//z[@name='value']">
              <div>
              <xsl:value-of select="'found element'"/>
              <xsl:apply-templates/>
              </div>
              </xsl:template>
              </xsl:stylesheet>
              [/code]
              Does this produce the error on your side?
