XML File

I would say
“
Select all ‘a’ elements which have x in its following axis and the node value of ‘a’ node does not equal to the node value of ‘x’ in its following axis.
“
So My answer:
1st , 3rd and 4th node in second B-set. Which are basically 3,2,3
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
NOTE: For future I would suggest you to post full question including all the files. Just a suggestion.
Thanks

Need help in XML & XSL

Fiz,
Let me try to help you. I can see the problem with your XML file and XSL file.

All the elements in your source XML file is in �com:test: developer� namespace. While in your XSL file all the �xsl:template� looking for an element in source document which is not in any anmespace and it does not find any element in source document which is not in any namespace. All the defaults templates will be executed in this case and this is how you are getting all the value.
Once you remove the namespace declaration from source file then all the elements in source XML file do not belongs to any namespace and the templates in XSL documents get executed.

If you do following change in your source XSL file then you will get desired results.

I am assuming that the namespace string in source document is �com:test: developer�, in case if it is different then change it accordingly in above XSL file.
I hope this make things clear to you.
Thanks

Need help with "Variable"

I was reading �Roger�s� tutorial on XSLT and I got confused in �variable� section.

A variable is �write once, read many�.
That is, you can assign a variable a value only once, but then you can retrieve the value of the variable many times.

I tried to assign �second� value to a variable and it seems that it is taking the second assigned value for the declared variable. I am using following files for my testing:
XML File:

XSL File:

OUTPUT File:

I really don�t understand. Why am I not getting an error? Or why is it using second assigned value to the variable?

Please do reply.
Thanks

Confused with Xpath expression! Need Help.

Hi,
Following question is from "Test 3 " of XMLWhiz. I am having problem to
under stand the Xpath expression.

What is the difference between
"//a[(following::x)]"
&
"//a[(following::x=.)]"

I know with "//a[(following::x)]" we will get all "a" elements which has "x" as following element.
I have no idea about the expression
"//a[(following::x=.)]".
Please help me !

Thanks

Need Help with XSLT

I just started the reading of XSLT tutorial from Zvon.org and I am confused with very first example.
Original Files:

XML File:

XSL File:

Output File:

Up to This point everything is clear. We are using Xpath expression ="//title"/ and this is why we are getting the output file.
But when I tried to change the XML File with same style sheet it didn�t give me the expected output. The output file is still the same old file.

Changed XML File:

Output File:

Why it didn�t pick the second �title� element. Even though we are using the Xpath expression �//title�?

Please explain it?
Thanks
