RE: [xsl] Nesting <xsl:value-of> tags

Hey Thomas:

You're making life a bit too hard on yourself :)

If you want the id element of a person to be equal to the current node's
parent's owened by attribute, simply use:

<xsl:value-of
select="document('ShareWebUsers.xml')//person[id=current()/../@ownedby]/
ntname"/>

HTH!

Subject: [xsl] Nesting <xsl:value-of> tags

Hi,

I have an xsl stylesheet that reads an xml document and selects all
nodes having a specific non-blank attribute.

The skeleton of my tags is as follows:


<xsl:for-each select="//*[./@filename != '']">
.
.
<xsl:value-of
select="document('ShareWebUsers.xml')//person[id=<xsl:value-of
select="../@ownedby"/>]/ntname"/>
.
.
</xsl:for-each>	


In the middle, I have an <xsl:value-of> tag that reads a value from
another document (ShareWebUsers.xml) and returns the value of the
<ntname> tag based on the value of "ownedby" attribute of the current
node.

When I use the code as described above, XMLSPY informs me that my XML is
not well-formed.

Is it possible to nest <xsl: value-of> tags like this?  If not, is there
another way to look up the value of <ntname> from the other document?

TIA
