Re: [xsl] Can a single XPath statement duplicate the functionality of this verbose statement?

Hi Ken,
Yes, only one attribute to either element.

You said:
xsl:copy-of select="( ../Location[name(@*)=name(current()/@*)] ,
                    ../Location/@denomination ,
                    '0' )[1]"/>

but I may have explained my needs incorrectly. Your statement works on the first example below [uses @denomination] but returns nothing for the second example; there it should return the value of the <Locations @souvenir-sheet>, i.e., '1'.
Thanks,
Mark
