This is how I got around the problem...but is this the best way to do it? It seems rather haphazard...

Thanks,
Kevin

<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="identifier" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="//itemList/headerList/header">
<xsl:if test="name = 'title'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//itemList/item/title[../identifier = $id]" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

In an XSL stylesheet, I have a template with a code fragment that looks like
this:


<xsl:template match="item">
	<tr>
		<xsl:for-each select="//itemList/headerList/header">
			<xsl:if test="name = 'title'">
				<xsl:apply-templates select="title" />
			</xsl:if>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</tr>
</xsl:template>

An <item> element looks like this:

<item>
	<title>Item 1</title>
	<identifier>aab</identifier>
	etc...
</item>

My problem is that inside of the for-each loop, the context changes to that
of //itemList/headerList/header, and I lose the context of the current item
I'm working with, so the select="title" is invalid. How do I get my context
back?


Thanks.
