Hello,

After more investigation i've got something but none of expected :

<xsl:for-each select="liste/annonce">
  <xsl:variable name="en-pdf">
    <xsl:for-each select="../compte/pdf">
      <xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test=".=../../annonce/@id">
	  True
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:value-of select=".=../../annonce/@id"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>	
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:variable>
...

<xsl:value-of select="$en-pdf"/>

Now the when test is always false,
what i know is : values of pdf are 1 and 3
: values of annonce/@id are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4
i made a test to see the value of annonce/@id inside of the pdf for-each is always 00, (the first annonce/@id)


I am stuck and puzzled, please help !

Xavier

PS : for memory the structure is
<liste>
    <compte>
       <pdf>1</pdf>
       <pdf>3</pdf>
    </compte>
    <annonce id ="1">
           bla bla
    </annonce>
    <annonce id ="2">
           bla bla
    </annonce>
    <annonce id ="3">
           bla bla
    </annonce>
    <annonce id ="4">
           bla bla
    </annonce>
</liste>
