Subject: [xsl] Finding attribute of a 'grand-parent' From: Christian Cäsar <caesar@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 16:09:49 +0200 |
Hello list, I'm stuck again. As always I hope this is not a case of RTFM. Consider this XML: <po id="1"> <someelement/> <po id="2"> <someelement> <po id="3"> <someelement/> </po> </someelement> <po id="4"> <someelement/> </po> </po> </po> For the element <po id="3"> I'd like to get the id attribute from the ancestor that is a po Element (in this case, '2'). What I got with 'ancestor::po' was '1', the attribute from the 'eldest' ancestor. 'parent::po' returns nothing, because obviously it isn't the parent i am seeking. More like the grand-parent, so to speak. In other words: I'm looking for the nearest ancestor relative who is not a parent. And I don't want uncles, either... ;-) Changing the xml-structure is not an option, unfortunately. Any hints? Thank you, Christian XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
