Re: [xsl] <xsl:if ... question

hello brian
to make your XMl well formed,i made the following assumption
1. The root node is called <root>

The way to compare is to use the xsl:key..

the following code will hep you

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:key match="/root/resources/resource" name="identifier" 
use="@identifier"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//item">
<xsl:variable name="identifier" select="key('identifier',@identifierref)"/>
<xsl:if test="$identifier">
<a href="{$identifier/@href}"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></a><br/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
