RE: get the value from a different child
Subject: RE: get the value from a different child From: Ben Robb <Ben@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 09:56:43 +0100 |
When you call the following line: <xsl:value-of select="BILLING_ATTRIBUTES[NAME=$myName]"/> you are asking for the value of the element "BILLING_ATTRIBUTES" which is a child of the currently selected node. 1) There are no "BILLING_ATTRIBUTES" elements anywhere on the tree... 2) The current node is "ATTRIBUTE" 3) The "BILLING_ATTRIBUTE" element in your tree does not have any text() nodes associated with it. What you want is something like: <xsl:value-of select="//BILLING_ATTRIBUTE[NAME=$myName]/VALUE/text()"/> or, to be more precise: <xsl:value-of select="../BILLING_ATTRIBUTE[NAME=$myName]/VALUE/text()"/> (the first asking for a BILLING_ATTRIBUTE element anywhere on the tree, the second specifically asking for a sibling of the current node). By the way, if you are using anything other than IE5's XML parser, you can use the shorthand: <input type="text" name="{NAME}" value="{="../BILLING_ATTRIBUTE[NAME=$myName]/VALUE}" /> instead of using <xsl:attribute> Hope this helps, Ben XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
