    4.5.2 Boolean Node ID Test

    I am having trouble getting the following snippet converted to the new schema.  It worked great in 4.0, but I just noticed that it does not work on 4.5.2 (I thought I was done converting when i noticed this..) :

     <xsl:if test="boolean(.//node[@id = $target])">{selected:<xsl:value-of select="position()-1"/>}</xsl:if>

    FYI - target = $currentPage/@id

     

    It is definitely failing at the <xsl:if test="boolean(.//node[@id = $target])"> part.

     

    I have tried replacing everything I could think of, but I am stuck. Anything I do returns nothing. Any ideas?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    If you're using the new XML schema then there isn't any <node /> elements any more, the alias of the document type is used.

    If you know the document type that it should be you can do this:

    <xsl:if test="boolean(.//myDocType[@id = $target])">...

    If you don't know the alias of the document type (or you just want to match any document types) use this:

    <xsl:if test="boolean(.//*[@id = $target && @isDoc])">...

    Using * will match any document type, and the @idDoc is the attribute placed on a document type level XML element

    (Note: The 'and' condition may not be 100% right)

    Hi Jeff,

    This will do it:

    <xsl:if test=".//*[@isDoc]/@id = $target">{selected: <xsl:value-of select="position() - 1" />}</xsl:if>

    As Aaron (slace) says, it's best to use the Doctype's alias if you know it.

    (You don't need the boolean() - that's actually done implicitly in a test attribute)

    Ahh.  I knew about replacing the 'node' with '*[@isDoc]", but my syntax was way off.  I was trying to use an 'and' statement.  There are multiple doc types, so * should be fine.

     

    Thanks to both of you.

     

    Chriztian this is the 2nd time in a month that you have saved me.  I couldn't get back into the other post to thank you (kept getting server errors), but you rock!

    No worries Jeff - I remember that other one - if you really want to close it though, you can strip everything but the ID from the URL to a post, and access it that way.
