Hi,

I want to know how to get the value of the parent tag when you are in an
<xsl:for-each select> of the child tag

Here is an illustration of what I want

this is the xml file

Hello,

i added another <region> xml element to make sure test was a bit more complete.

there are various methods of doing this transformation, but this is a good start.

here is the xsl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//City">
<row>
<country><xsl:value-of select="ancestor::Country/@Name"/></country>
<region><xsl:value-of select="parent::Region/@Name"/></region>
<city><xsl:value-of select="@Name"/></city>
</row>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------------------------------------

here is the xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<World>
  <Country Name="Afghanistan">
      <Region Name="Herat">
          <City Name="Herat"></City>
      </Region>
      <City Name="Kabul"></City>
      <City Name="Kandahar"></City>
      <City Name="Mazar-e Sharif"></City>
  </Country>
  <Country Name="Albania">
      <City Name="Shkoder"></City>
      <Region Name="test">
      <City Name="Tirane"></City>
      </Region>
  </Country>
</World>

---------------------------------------------------------

regards, Jim Fuller

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<World>
<Country Name="Afghanistan">
<Region Name="Herat">
<City Name="Herat"></City>
</Region>
<City Name="Kabul"></City>
<City Name="Kandahar"></City>
<City Name="Mazar-e Sharif"></City>
</Country>
<Country Name="Albania">
<City Name="Shkoder"></City>
<City Name="Tirane"></City>
</Country>
</World>

The XSL code

<xsl:for-each select="World/Country/City">
<row>
<country><xsl:value-of select="World/Country/@Name"/></country>
<region><xsl:value-of select="Region/@Name"/></region>
<city><xsl:value-of select="Region/City/@Name"/></city>
</row>

This code does not give me the required result.

Thanks
