Is parent::following-sibling correct?

[Guoliang Cao <ca...@ispsoft.com>]

Or  parent::following-sibling::node()
or  ../following-sibling

Which one is valid, and what's the difference?

Input is :

<A>
  <B/>
  <B/>
</A>
<A>
  <B/>
  <B/>
</A>

I want to generate n*(n-1)/2  code sections.      n is the number of 'B'

My xsl looks like:

<xsl:for-each  select="A">
  <xsl:for-each select="B">
    <xsl:for-each select="following-sibling">
    <xsl:if test="contains(name(), 'B'">
......
    </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each select="parent::following-sibling">  <====== Doesn't
work!!!!
    <xsl:for-each select="B">
......
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

Glad you worked it out.  Just to let you know that ".." is short for
parent::node() so you could also write:

  "../following-sibling::node()[name()='B']"

or just

  "../following-sibling::B"

I've tried a lot. This one works.

"parent::node()/following-sibling::node()[name()='B']"
