Hi,

I'm having a blonde moment here and I don't use xslt everyday. I'm
simply trying to get the first ancestor of a node that contains a
specific attribute.

My attempt: select="ancestor::node()[@name!=null]/@name"

XSLT 2.0: select="ancestor::*[exists(@name)][1]/@name"

Desired effect: return the first ancestor that has a 'name' element.
