Re: [xsl] check parent node

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

<xsl:template match="column/row">...</xsl:template>

The match expression here says "match row elements that have column element 
parents" (it doesn't match rows with other parents).

Or,

<xsl:if test="parent::column">...</xsl:if>

tests if the parent node of the context node is a column.

Are either of those any help?

Cheers,
Wendell
