Hi,

generate-id() will generate a unique id for any element, so in your case the
first <c> will have a different generated id to the second <c>.

Do you really want to use generate-id() or do you want your output to have
different id's for elements (for classes in html, say) ??

If c were an attribute of results then:

<xsl:template match="results[@c='2']">
...

If c were a child/descendant of results then:

<xsl:template match="results[//c='2']">
...

Cheers

Subject: [xsl] few question regarding the use of id generation


hi there:
i was wondering anyone could help me out on this question....

suppose i have such structures:-

<experiment>
<method>
<a>value1</a>
<b>value2</b>
<c>
   <d>vlaue</d>
   <e>value3</e>
</c>
<results>
<a>value1</a>
<b>value2</b>
<c>
   <d>vlaue</d>
   <e>value3</e>
</c>
</method>
...

Suppose i wish to generate an id for <c> in the results elemeny, i will
have to use gerate-id(c), however i was wondering whether an same id will
be generate in method/c (given that the value are the same). if not, is
there a way to generate the same id for both of them?

secondly, i know i might sound pretty stupid but is there a function in xsl
that could do similar operation as the following sql command?
select * from results where c="2";

Many thanks

Kit
