Adding two string decimal values in XSLT

kvbhaskar7 · November 9th, 2011, 03:33 AM

Hi,

I need to add two decimal values in XSLT1.0.

<Col align="left" colwidth="4.40"/>
<Col align="left" colwidth="5.40"/>

When i try using something like below and then adding these two values, it is giving me "NaN".

<xsl:param name="calculateWidth">
<xsl:value-of select="number(@colwidth)"/>
</xsl:param>

<xsl:value-of select="$calculateWidth= $calculateWidth+ number(@colwidth)"/>

Is there any alternative to add these numbers?

Thanks.

try the below

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="sum(Col/@ colwidth)"/>

There's nothing obviously wrong with your code (though it seems cumbersome). The most likely reason it fails is that the context node isn't the Col element. Note that mrame's suggestion assumes that the context node is the parent of the Col element.
