Subject: Re: [xsl] RE: Finding the closest preceding element within the containing block From: Vasu Chakkera <vasucv@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 27 May 2012 22:20:26 +0100 |
Hi Mike, Preceding-sibling allways brings you the sibling under the same parent. So you will never get a "C" element from a different B parent. But sometimes there could be a situation where you are having to use preceding as opposed to the preceding-sibling, then there is a chance that you may go out into other parents.. in those cases, if you want to make sure that the two nodes that you are selecting have a common ancestor node, then you could use key() function, with the third parameter of the key ( xslt 2 ) as the common ancestor.( the third parameter of the key in xslt 2 gives the context under which the key is being evaluated)..
