Subject: [xsl] Selecting nodes by attribute value From: "Noelle" <ng302@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 20:08:08 +0100 |
For some reason I can't seem to select a specific node by the value of a specified attribute, despite the fact that this is one of the basic things described in any tutorial or reference on XSLT. When I use the format: ... <xsl:apply-templates select="element[@attributename=attributevalue]"/> ... it just returns a blank page (or whatever might have been included up to that point, such as formatting, like a background). It's as though its not recognising that there's an attribute with the specified value (even though there is, after double, triple, and quadruple checking to make sure I didn't make a typo). I've seen some examples with quotes around the attribute value, but that just gives me an error messages in the browser: "required whitespace missing". It does work if I just use a number that would be the equivalent node that I want, but I'd like to be able to specify by attribute value. I couldn't find an answer in the archives or elsewhere, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions. I wouldn't be surprised if I'd just missed out on something simple (that they don't tend to include in the examples because they assume people know it already), since I've only just started learning this. Thanks, -N XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
