Re: [xsl] xsl:for - Only for existing nodes, how?

Hello David and thank you for your reply,

My problem is a bit more complex. This was just an example and my real xml 
file goes much deeper after "control". I'm trying to understand if what you 
supplied here is different than using:
<xsl:for-each select="/tree/controls/control/item1">
  <xsl:value-of select="data"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="../item2/data"/>
</xsl:for-each>

Wouldn't it act just the same? I'm talking in a performance sense.

Thank you
