Trying to establish a for-each statement. For example:

<element>
<url>xxx.com</url
<title>xxx</title>
<category>
<thiscategory>one/two/three/four</thiscategory>
</category>
</element>

<element>
<url>xxx.com</url
<title>xxx</title>
<category>
<thiscategory>a/b/c/d</thiscategory>
</category>
</element>

My for-each statement is not working, however.

<xsl:template match="element">
<xsl:for-each select="category/[thiscategory='a/b/c/d']">

I think the slashes are of issue.

I'm getting:
A location step was expected following the '/' or '//' token. [109] null

Any help?

Hi Victor,
the correct XPath is "category[thiscategory='a/b/c/d']" (no / before the [)

Great! I love those little mistakes.

However, still running into an issue:

My display will now not yield anything.

<xsl:template match="element">
<xsl:for-each select="category[thiscategory='a/b/c/d']">
<xsl:value-of select="URL"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Thanks again.

Victor,
once you iterate over all those "category" objects, there is no "URL"
child to select.
If you want to get to the "url" sibling element, you need to write "../url".
