I am currently looking about some modification of | this DTD which | could make it working. | Does anybody have the same problem or am I too :( to use this DTD. | I must confess that I rarely use DTD, I prefer XML schema instead.
Hi Olivier, I must confess I never use the XUpdate DTD. Can you post the changes to this mailinglist if you get it to work? That way other people can also beneft from your work. | I have some questions about xupdate semantic : | | In a xupdate command like 'insert-before' can I put many | xupdate:element at | the same level instead only one ? (I guess yes) Yes, you can. Multiple xupdate:element's can be inserted in a xupdate:insert-before operation. The inserted element appear in the same order as in the xupdate:insert-before element. | Can I embed xupdate:element in xupdate:element to | recursively create from | scratch a tree fragment ? Yes, you can. Nesting xupdate:element's creates nested elements in the result. | In the working draft there is the following sample : | | <xupdate:variable name="town" select="/addresses/address[0]/town"/> | <xupdate:append select="/addresses"> | <xupdate:element name="address"> | <xupdate:value-of select="$town"/> | </xupdate:element> | </xupdate:append> | | In this case the variable named 'town' represents a single | node. Is it | correct to use variables representing more than on node | (nodeset, text ...) Yes, it it is correct. If a variable selects a nodeset (like in "/addresses/address/town") all selected nodes will inserted in a inserted in a insert operation, append in a append operation etc. regards, Jeroen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact administrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
