Great... thank you Joe. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Bryan Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 10:54 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] simple xQuery Web Application
To clarify: /text() returns a sequence of all the immediate child text nodes, while /fn:string() returns the concatenation of all the descendant text nodes. There's more details in Evan's great post here: https://developer.marklogic.com/blog/text-is-a-code-smell. And that comment thread covers the same attribute-in-element problem that you're having here.

Instead, you should be converting @count to a string: $entries := $employees/@count/fn:string() You should do the same for $fullname: text() doesn't always do what you'd expect, and it returns a text{} node, not a string: $fullname := $employees/fn:string() Thanks. -jb From: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Javier Lizarraga <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2015 at 12:56 AM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] simple xQuery Web Application I using xquery... specifically modifying the World's Leader xquery application, the index.xqy file.

So, the * is saying any namespace. Yes, (as of XPath 2.0) /element == element in no namepace /*:element == element in any namepace Very useful for quick 'one off's when you dont want to bother with the neamespace decl, but its a bad habbit to get into for production code -- you can end up selecting elements in unexpected places that you didnt intend. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lee Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: +1 812-482-5224 Cell: +1 812-630-7622 www.marklogic.com<http://www.marklogic.com/>
