Hey Ben,

You need to alter the xslr to include the commas so it searches for ',34,'

To extend on Rich's answer - this will work if the number is in the middle of the list.

So to get around this limitation you could concatenate your string with comma's - so something like this :

<xsl:value-of select="concat(',' , $publishedListFixed , ',')"/>

Hope this helps.

First of all, I want to thank you both for your help!

It sounds me as a good solution but I have one problem: I can change the list to ',4,89,345,2,' , but I don't know how I can look for  ',@id,'. I have tried some methods but I always get xslt errors. Do you know how I should do it?(I would appreciate a sample of XSLT code)

you need to use <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>

Is this code supposed to work?

<xsl:variable name="xpathQuery">

<xsl:text>/root/descendant::node[contains('</xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="$publishedListFixed"/>

<xsl:text>',

        '</xsl:text>

,<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>,

<xsl:text>')]</xsl:text>

</xsl:variable>

you have an extra (,) before and after the <xsl:value-of select="@id"/> which doesn't look like it needs to be there

If I understood well, I have to search for ,@id, and not for @id - that's what causes the problem. So, adding the commas makes sense to me. Am I wrong?

Hey Ben,

What does this return to the page inside the text area?

<textarea><xsl:value-of select="$xpathQuery"/></textarea>

Rich

when I place the following code at the xslt:

<xsl:variable name="xpathQuery">

<xsl:text>/root/descendant::node[contains('</xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="$publishedListFixed"/>

<xsl:text>', @id)]</xsl:text>

</xsl:variable>

I get :

/root/descendant::node[contains(',3103,', @id)]

When I try other code of the above samples, I get xslt error

Change

<xsl:text>', @id)]</xsl:text>

to

<xsl:text>,'</xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>

<xsl:text>)]</xsl:text>

hi, can you write the whole xsl element please?

<xsl:variable name="xpathQuery">

<xsl:text>/root/descendant::node[contains('</xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="$publishedListFixed"/>

<xsl:text>', </xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>

<xsl:text>')]</xsl:text>

</xsl:variable>

the line <xsl:value-of select="@id"/> returns an empty string, it causes a problem when I try to select a node by id by placing the folloowing code:

<xsl:variable name="max" select="count($recommendations)"/>

Are you trying to get the id of the current page? If so, you can use <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/@id"/>

is working on a reply...
