Hello,
I am trying to find an XPath expression that gives me the longest
element in a node set.
I know how to do that for an attribute. e.g //element[not(@attr <
following-sibling::element/@attr)]
But how can I do that for the string-length(element).
I tried //element[not(string-length(.) <
string-length(following-sibling::element))]
But this obviously does not work, because following-sibling::element is
not an element or string, but a node-set.
Any ideas?
(I think this one is for Michael Kay... Am I wrong?)
Thank you very much.
