What I want to do is to use XSL to create a table that
has one row per class "team". In the first cell, show
the team number (the team 'id'). In the second cell,
show the names of the students in the team (e.g. "john
doe").
You have:
<xsl:for-each
select="/descendant::student[@id=self::student_id']/child::name">
You have misunderstood the purpose of self:: ... you want current() which
will give you the current() node at the beginning of the evaluation of the
expression:
/descendant::student[@id=current()/student_id]/child::name
I'm not sure where you are going with the rest of the template, but the
select above should give you what you are looking for.
I hope this helps.
