Ben,

Actually, make that parent::node(). What you have is equivalent to
child::parent (get all child elements that have the name "parent").

'vesselSpec']">
Should be <xsl:when
test="parent::node()/parent::node()/parent::node()[@class = 'vesselSpec'] or
parent::node()/parent::node()[@class = 'vesselSpec']">

Wendell,
Thanks again, it amazes me that someone would take the time to write out
such a
detailed reply - another question for you (or anyone who can answer it)..
I have fixed the following syntax:
<xsl:when test="..[@class='nav']">
to read:
<xsl:when test="parent[@class='nav']">
Which works great but my question is how would I modify the following
statement
to work with MSXML's tighter syntax requirements:
<xsl:when test="../../..[@class = 'vesselSpec'] or ../..[@class =
'vesselSpec']">
Thanks in advance!
_Ben

Ben,
I can't speak to the MSXML, but....
.[ancestor::sidebar[1]] expands to
self::node()[ancestor::sidebar[1]]
which translates into English as
"Are you a node with an ancestor sidebar that's your first sidebar
ancestor?"
This could be simplified as
ancestor::sidebar[1]
which translates as
"Do you have an ancestor named sidebar that's the first sidebar ancestor?"
But of course, if there are any sidebar ancestors, there's a first one: why
not just ask
ancestor::sidebar "Do you have any sidebar ancestors?"
Now, you may actually mean
ancestor::*[1][self::sidebar]
which is XPath for
"Is your first ancestor element a sidebar?"
Or even better:
parent::sidebar
"Do you have a parent 'sidebar'?"
Yet, to my eye there's nothing syntactically wrong with
".[ancestor::sidebar[1]]". So MSXML may have a bug, even if it's easy to
avoid in this case.
Someone else may be able to speak to differences between the MSXML builds.
Hope that helps!
Wendell
