Oops. Nevermind. I made that painful mistake of editing a different copy
of the file than I had in the browser. Sheesh... it's just:

<xsl:when test="descendant::*[@task = $taskNumber] and not(@result)">
	... do something
</xsl:when>

Subject: testing for descendants problem


Hi-
 I need to check if there are ancestor element nodes of an element node
which contains @task=$taskNumber, so I have:

<xsl:when test="descendant::*[@task = $taskNumber]">
	... do something
</xsl:when>

...no problem so far...but I also want to make sure that this ancestor
element node does not have an @result attribute. I can't figure out how
to do that. Can someone please help? Thanks-
 Mac
