Re: [xsl] dynamic node access

[RQamar <qamar_rahil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh thanks it worked !

Theres one more problem I have. The output of my present transformation 
is of the form

------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Top>
<PrimeConcept id="10180">
 <PrimeName>Car</PrimeName>
 <SubConcepts>
     <SubConcept id="10298" name="Toyota"/>
 </SubConcepts>
</PrimeConcept>
</Top>
------------------------------
However I want the output in the form

<PrimeConcept id='10180'>Car</PrimeConcept>
<SubConcepts>
 <SubConcept id='10298'>Toyota</SubConcept>
</SubConcepts>

I am not sure how you can create the element <SubConcepts> from within 
the <PrimeConcept> template match. My present code is

-------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="/">
   <Top>
       <PrimeConcept><xsl:apply-templates select="Top/TopNode" 
mode="top"/></PrimeConcept>
   </Top>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="TopNode" mode="top">
    <xsl:if test="@name = $prime"> <!--e.g. resolves to 'Car'>
        <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of 
select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
       <xsl:element name="PrimeName"><xsl:value-of 
select="@name"/></xsl:element><!-- e.g. Car-->
       <xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::TopNode[@name = 
$constraint] | preceding-sibling::TopNode[@name=$constraint]">  <!--e.g. 
resolves to 'Toyota'>           
           <xsl:element name="SubConcepts"> 
               <xsl:element name="SubConcept">
                   <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of 
select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
                   <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of 
select="@name"/></xsl:attribute>
               </xsl:element>
           </xsl:element>
       </xsl:if>
   </xsl:if>   
</xsl:template>

-----------------------------------

So how can I create the element <SubConcepts> below <Top> and not 
<PrimeConcept> ?

Thanks
