Re: Counting nodes processed
Hello Jay,
if you want to process the category nodes, why you go directly to the
topic nodes?
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:apply-templates select="category"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="topic">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
In general it's bad coding to use //. Try to specify the path more exactly.
Regards,
Joerg
