Re: [xsl] how can I get the attribute?

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

<xsl:value-of select="../../yacht/@yachtid"/>

or with complete axes for maybe better understanding:

<xsl:value-of 
select="parent::route/parent::cruise/child::yacht/attribute::yachtid"/>

another possibility:

<xsl:value-of 
select="parent::route/preceding-sibling::yacht/attribute::yachtid"/>

or back to the short way:

<xsl:value-of select="../preceding-sibling::yacht/@yachtid"/>
