Thanks, Geert. I figured it was something semi-esoteric like that. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Geert Josten Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 10:51 AM To: General Mark Logic Developer Discussion Subject: RE: [MarkLogic Dev General] Unexpected results when using a filterexpression
Hi Stewart, It is a mistake made in XSLT as well. The positional predicate operates on document order. Your expression is literally searching for any xh:a element that occurs as first xh:a element within its parent. That is quite something different then ($div//xh:a)[1].. :-) Best regards, Geert > Drs. G.P.H.
