    ancestor-or-self with new schema

    What is the proper way to refer to ancestor-or-self with the new 4.5 schema?  The old version is:

    $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/data [@alias = 'metaKeywords']

    I think it would be:

    $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::metaKeywords

    Hi Connie,

    If you know the nodeTypeAlias (e.g. 'Textpage') of your document type, you should use that:

    $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::Textpage/metaKeywords

    Otherwise, use the more generic:

    $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@isDoc]/metaKeywords

    All of the above should work, but are not.  Gotta be missing something.

    <xsl:attribute name="content">
    <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* /metaKeywords" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
    </xsl:attribute>

    Hi Connie,

    This could be related to a question I just wrote a loooong answer for... try this:

    <xsl:attribute name="content">
        <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[metaKeywords[normalize-space()]][1]/metaKeywords" />
    </xsl:attribute>

    This will take the metaKeywords property on the closest ancestor that actually has a value set for it.

    That works!  When you have time, it would be nice to know why.

    Thanks!

    Great - that's good!

    The answer I mentioned is right here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/10934-XSLT-fails-after-publish?p=0#comment40836

    or you might want try a text() !='' test as in:

    <xsl:attribute name="content">
      <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::metaKeywords[text() !='']"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
