Subject: Looking up elements with {@attname} From: Klaas Bals <kbals@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 23 May 1999 17:20:30 +0200 |
Hi, I have some problems XSL... What I want to do is look up an element in a template-rule when its attribute is the same as an attribute of the current element. I'll try to give a simplified example: <element att2="same-value" att3="firstvalue"/> <element att2="same-value" att3="secondvalue"/> <xsl:stylesheet> <xsl:template match="element"> <xsl:value-of select="@att3"/> <xsl:text> found </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="//element[@att2={./@att2}]/@att3"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I would like as output: ----------- firstvalue found secondvalue secondvalue found firstvalue ----------- If the stylesheet above would be valid, I think I would get the correct output, but the problem is that the last "xsl:value-of" element isn't valid. More specifically the part after the "=" sign {./@att2} is invalid. LotusXSL complaints about that it should stand between quotes, but when I put it between (single) quotes, LotusXSL will look for an element with its att2="{./@att2}", with this string "{./@att2}" as the value for attribute "att2". I also tried with an xsl:variable element, but then it complaints about the $varname that should stand between quotes... Can somebody understand what I'm saying? This topic was perhaps discussed before, if so, please point me to the URL where I can find some information... I tried looking for an answer in the archives and all xml-sites, but couldn't find a thing... Thanks for your time! Klaas XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
